They want a candidate who has experience dealing with:
-
FDA Detention —
When imported goods are detained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), often because they appear to violate FDA regulations (e.g., mislabeling, adulteration, safety concerns). The candidate should know how to handle detained goods and the steps required to resolve detentions. -
FDA Refusals —
When the FDA refuses entry of imported goods into the U.S. The candidate needs to know how to handle these refusals, including understanding the reasons for refusal, appealing decisions, or reconditioning products. -
Petitions —
Likely referring to appeals or requests submitted to the FDA to challenge or overturn a decision (like a detention or refusal). The candidate should be experienced in preparing and submitting these petitions effectively. -
Protests —
Usually refers to Customs protests, which are formal objections filed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when there is a disagreement about duties, classification, valuation, or admissibility of goods. The candidate should know how to handle both FDA and CBP processes. -
PSC (Post Summary Correction) —
A process used to correct entry summary data with CBP after goods have been released but before liquidation. The candidate should know how to file PSCs correctly and handle any associated regulatory issues.
