Import Offices and Ports of Entry

All products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration must meet the same requirements, whether imported from abroad or produced domestically. The FDA’s Office of Inspections and Investigation (OII) is the lead office for all FDA field activities, as well as providing FDA leadership on imports, inspections, and enforcement policy.  Use the map below to locate the applicable port of entry for your shipment and contact the corresponding Import Division.
