Course Description:
During this course:
- We will provide detailed information on FDA's authority and the requirements for FDA regulated products
- We will review the proper forms (FDA and CPB) and learn how to complete them
- We will do mock filings for FDA products to test our ability to prepare the entries correctly
- Note: Participants will need internet access via a personal communicating device, preferably a lap top computer
Navigating FDA’s requirements in order to successfully import FDA regulated products is important for any company that relies on sales revenue from foreign made products regulated by FDA. In order to assure that the imported product does not get detained or refused entry the importer should be fully informed of FDA requirements for foods, medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, and radiation emitting devices. In addition there are requirements for general importation enforced by the Customs and Border Protection (CPB) section of the Department of Homeland Security.
What can happen if you are not familiar with FDA and/or CPB requirements? You may find that you have purchased a large amount of a foreign made FDA product, which do not meet FDA’s requirements. FDA may refuse entry, or you may incur a long delay in the importation, both of which can be very costly for the importer.

- Become familiar with the product categories regulated by FDA

Local Attractions
San Diego Cabrillo National Monument
The first European to set foot in California was the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped on shore near this spot in in 1542. He's the guy they made this statue to look like - and named the park after. We don't know if Cabrillo climbed all the way up to the top of this promontory or not, but people who make up here nowadays get some of the best views of San Diego, looking across the Bay and back toward downtown.
Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.
Legoland
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.
Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.
Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
La Jolla
In Spanish, La Jolla means "the jewel," an apt name for a pretty, Mediterranean-style seaside town - sitting on cliffs flanking the ocean.
La Jolla visitors like to shop and eat in the nice restaurants, some of them with lovely ocean views. There's a lot for the active visitor, too, including ocean kayaking, tide pool-hopping, surfing at Windansea Beach, biking or running along the waterfront.
