親,你被這個標(biāo)題嚇到了嗎?
這是幾個月前,美國FDA給大森林發(fā)來的一段留言。沒嚇到各位客戶,倒是讓大森林人嚇到魂飛魄散。
2017年11月,大森林拼箱45HQ前往美國FTW1倉庫,該柜中大部分貨物需要做FDA REVIEW( FDA只是審核并不強制要求做FDA注冊的貨物),及另外一部分LED產(chǎn)品。
在貨物到港之前,大森林美國報關(guān)行進(jìn)行清關(guān)及將FDA REVIEW貨物進(jìn)行FDA申報。海關(guān)在接收到清關(guān)資料后24小時內(nèi)給予放行,而由于有FDA監(jiān)管貨物,F(xiàn)DA部門暫時沒有對他管轄內(nèi)的貨物放行,并向大森林報關(guān)行發(fā)送了一份電子HOLD貨通知書:
此說明書說明的清清楚楚,
只有STAINLESS STELL FOOD SCISSORS
CUPPING THERAPY
MANUAL HANDHELD MASSANGER
BODY MASSANGER
貨物需要等待FDA REVIEW
在收到此份通知書后,大森林海外倉迅速作出反應(yīng):將貨物進(jìn)行分揀,將FDA HOLD貨物調(diào)出,其他放行貨物先安排預(yù)約派送至FBA ,并等候FDA部門對上續(xù)四種產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行審核,一般情況下,F(xiàn)DA會做文件審核后直接放行,另外一種為FDA會到貨物存放現(xiàn)場驗貨后放行。
FDA官大人于1月6日來到大森林代理倉庫進(jìn)行驗貨。然而驗貨結(jié)束后,我們收到這樣一份通知(一封來自大森林美國報關(guān)行的郵件):
LED’s were not at the facility and available for FDA exam. LED’s which are FDA regulated products must be transmitted with all future entries They advised that if we can request that the customer locate these goods and make them available for exam, if possible.
Also, they asked that we provide the actual manufacturer’s name and complete address for each FDA regulated items also if they have facility registration numbers also include them with our response.
So that we may know exactly what LED is, as it is too broad a term, please advise what this items is and please make sure invoices are detailed as when vague, it is causing too many problems
FDA查貨現(xiàn)場居然聲稱為什么沒有LED產(chǎn)品?
LED產(chǎn)品去哪里了?
I have detained 4 lines of this entry and will forward to our Center for Devices for review. However, there appears to be differing manufacturer information. The entry documents have one firm name, but the cartons have the name of Yongkang Jinkang Health Equipment Factory. I need to know as soon as possible the actual manufacturer of these devices. If the manufacturer is Yongkang, the Importer will need to provide an invoice from that manufacturer. If they are not, please provide an explanation as to why Yongkang is on the product labeling and outer cartons.
這封來自FDA的郵件,F(xiàn)DA聲稱產(chǎn)品的資料上提供的制造商和產(chǎn)品外箱制造商不符。 ( 這點大森林提議所有客戶,特別是代理客戶,一定如實申報美國制造商)
我們姑且忽略第二個FDA小問題,但第一個問題則讓大森林人抓頭皮了:在FDA扣貨通知書上,哪個單詞看到了LED呢? 拿望遠(yuǎn)鏡也看不到LED啊。
但是官大神的話如同圣旨,在收到該郵件通知后,大森林火速通知客戶下架LED產(chǎn)品,通通撤回到大森林代理倉庫,進(jìn)行最后的檢驗。想想這浩浩蕩蕩的退貨,太雄偉了。(頓時也有種FDA官大人亂用私權(quán)的趕腳?。?/p>
由于大批量退貨導(dǎo)致客戶產(chǎn)生巨額退貨費,大森林面臨來自客戶沉重的壓力。于是我們又開始了和FDA部門漫長的談判過程。
溝通了無數(shù)個來回?zé)o果,F(xiàn)DA最后發(fā)來這么一段英文解釋。
如下是來自FDA海關(guān)原始郵件配上大森林的翻譯(順帶讓大家體會純正的美國英語):
LED lights are FDA regulated:(LED燈屬FDA監(jiān)管)
“LED products emit visible optical radiation which qualifies them to be a radiation emitting electronic product and unless it contains a laser, these LED products are not subject to a mandatory standard but the FDA does regulate them.
LED產(chǎn)品發(fā)射可見光輻射,使其成為輻射電子產(chǎn)品,除非它含有激光,這些LED產(chǎn)品不受強制性標(biāo)準(zhǔn),但FDA對它們進(jìn)行規(guī)范監(jiān)管。
We recommend the manufacturer/importer to claim any product that we regulate and since we regulate all radiation emitting electronic products under the general/defect clause they should all be claimed. The LED manufacturers are subject to the ARO reporting requirement (21 CFR 1002.20) and notification if they discover a defect (21 CFR 1003). The product code we recommend the firms to transmit is shown below;
Since LEDs do not have a performance standard, a 2877 Form shouldn’t be required but you may still need to enter an Affirmation of Compliance of RA2 and state “There is no performance standard”.
我們要求制造商/進(jìn)口商向我們申報任何屬于我們規(guī)管的產(chǎn)品,因為根據(jù)一般/缺陷條款,我們規(guī)管的所有輻射的電子產(chǎn)品都應(yīng)該申報。
LED廠商,如果發(fā)現(xiàn)一個缺陷(21 CFR 1003),受ARO報告要求(21 CFR 1002.20)和通知管制。我們建議公司使用的產(chǎn)品代碼如下所示;
由于LED沒有性能標(biāo)準(zhǔn),可能不需要填寫2788表格,但你可能依然需要填寫一份表格,An Affirmation of Compliance of RA2 并聲明“沒有性能標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”。
ORA imports product code is:

Product Specific Questions
Q35) Are Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or Intense Pulsed Lights (IPLs) subject to the laser regulations and reporting?
LEDs and IPLs do not meet the definition of a laser, namely:
21 CFR 1040.10(b)(19) Laser means any device that can be made to produce or amplify electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths greater than 250 nm but less than or equal to 13,000 nm or, after August 20, 1986, at wavelengths equal to or greater than 180 nm but less than or equal to 1.0*106nm primarily by the process of controlled stimulated emission.
There is no existing FDA performance standard for LED or IPL products. They are not subject to Product or Annual reports under 21 CFR 1002. However, as they are radiation-emitting products, the manufacturers of these products would still be subject to the general requirements in Title 21 CFR 1000 through 1005, specifically, accidental radiation occurrence notifications and notifications of defect, 21 CFR 1003 & 1004.
產(chǎn)品具體問題
Q35)發(fā)光二極管(LEDs)或強脈沖光(IPLs)是否受激光法規(guī)和報告管制?
LEDs和IPLs不滿足激光的定義,即:
21 CFR 1040.10(b)(19)激光設(shè)備,能夠產(chǎn)生或放大電磁輻射的波長大于250 nm,但小于或等于13000納米,1986年8月20日后,主要通過控制激光發(fā)射過程,在波長等于或大于180 nm,但小于或等于1.0* 106nm。
對于LED或者IPL產(chǎn)品,F(xiàn)DA沒有現(xiàn)存的性能標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。根據(jù)21 CFR 1002,他們不受產(chǎn)品報告或年度報告管制。然而,因為它們是輻射發(fā)光產(chǎn)品,這些產(chǎn)品的制造商仍然受到21 CFR 1000的一般要求管制,具體來說,通過1005,做出意外輻射發(fā)生的通知和缺陷的通知,21 CFR 1003和。
如上美國FDA郵件以及大森林面臨的這次退倉事件證明,最近傳的沸沸揚揚的LED燈被FDA管制,總算有了終極答案: 只有用于醫(yī)療設(shè)備,帶有激光輻射性的LED燈才會被FDA強制管制,而普通的LED燈并不是不被管制,而是FDA需要做REVIEW(審核),這意味著LED貨物都需要進(jìn)行FDA申報才能清關(guān)放行。也表示報關(guān)行要開始收FDA申報費了。
最后的最后,大森林強烈建議:為了減少不必要的麻煩和查驗,LED產(chǎn)品在發(fā)票品名需注明 *For Dental Use* *For Industrial Use* *For Medical Use*(牙科用,工業(yè)用,醫(yī)療用。)這個非常重要,直接決定LED產(chǎn)品是只需要FDA申報還是需要FDA注冊號。
當(dāng)然,所有貨物也務(wù)必真實提供制造商名稱。
