Import Alerts have drastic effects on domestic and foreign manufacturers, importers, consumers and global commerce.

Import Alerts identify “problem” commodities and automatically detain them until the importer can prove they are safe. Sometimes an alert can be issued for products from an entire country because of concerns about purity, tampering, or other safety issues. More often, they can be issued for products from a specific manufacturer, importer, grower, etc. Needless to say, such an alert can be extremely costly, and those affected need the expertise of experienced Import attorneys who understand how to get their client off the blacklist quickly. 

As conditions permit, all import alerts over two years old will be reviewed semi-annually. The review will include the health significance of the problem and, if resolved, the alert can be deleted or revised as needed.
