This presentation will include representatives from both primary federal law enforcement agencies, which regulate the sourcing, transportation, importation, and distribution of seafood –U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) – along with a seafood importer, and an attorney whose practice is representing seafood companies.
Topics will include FDA detentions, FDA refusals, FDA import alerts, CBP demands for redelivery, CBP liquidated damages claims, C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), FDA voluntary recalls, SIMP, transshipments, tariff rates, antidumping duties and investigations, and seafood fraud prevention priorities of FDA and CBP.
The more than 30 individual presentations from this year's SENA featured exclusive information and insights from seafood industry experts on a range of topics, including sustainability solutions and how the sector can best navigate current economic, energy, and trade policies.
