FDA initiates the Secure Supply Chain Pilot Program to enhance security of imported drugs
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is announcing the initiation of the Secure Supply Chain Pilot Program to enhance the security of imported drugs. In August 2013, the FDA published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 51192) to solicit companies to voluntarily submit applications for participation in this two-year program. Thirteen prequalified companies have now been designated to take part, and will receive expedited entry for the importation of up to five selected drug products into the United States.
