FDA to Issue Electronic Export Certificates for Food Products
March 2017
Effective February 20, 2017, certificates of free sale for food products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will be issued online as a downloadable PDF form. The change from paper to PDF certificates will make the process of issuing certificates of free sale (COFS) more efficient for both exporters and the agencies.
From the original announcement:
"Review of a certificate may be required by foreign countries as part of the process to import a product into those countries. FDA issues COFS for certain CFSAN-regulated food products upon request by an exporter. FDA does not require export certificates to export foods to foreign countries."
