Abstract: Section 801(e)(4) of the Act provides that persons exporting certain FDA-regulated products may request that FDA certify that the products meet the requirements of sections 801(e) or 802 or other requirements of the Act. The Act does not require FDA to issue certificates for food, including animal feeds, food and feed additives, and dietary supplements, or cosmetics. However, since foreign governments may require certificates for these types of products, the agency intends to continue to provide this service as resources permit. Section 801(e)(4) of the Act also provides that FDA may charge a fee of up to $175 if FDA issues a certificate within 20 days of receipt of a complete request for such a certificate. This fee may vary depending on the product type, but it will not exceed $175.

Emergency Justfication: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted on March 27, 2020. Section 3856 of the CARES Act contained a provision that made the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) immediately obligated to review and process requests for certifications for devices not exported from the United States. These new certificates will be issued for products that have received FDA marketing authorization, are exempt from 510(k) or are preamendment, and will be shipped from one foreign country to another without entering U.S. commerce. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act anticipates that FDA will issue certifications within 20 days of the establishment’s request for such documentation, and that FDA will collect fees for such certifications, as set forth in section 801(e)(4) of the FD&C Act.
