Strengthening U.S. Import Compliance Through TWeE grupo’s FSVP Prevalidation Program

 

In response to the recent tightening of U.S. import enforcement under the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) reinforced by the latest directives from the U.S. Administration and the FDA, importers and foreign suppliers now face stricter oversight from U.S. Customs and the Food and Drug Administration. These rules require every importer to verify that their foreign suppliers comply with the same safety standards demanded within the United States.

Noncompliance can result in severe penalties, including fines of up to $30,000 per violation, shipment detention or destruction at port, and even suspension of import privileges.

TWeE grupo’s FSVP Prevalidation Program was designed to help European and Latin American exporters meet these obligations before their products reach U.S. borders. The program audits supplier documentation, ingredient data, and labeling according to FDA and FSMA standards, ensuring that importers’ FSVP responsibilities are fully validated in advance. By aligning EU certifications such as HACCP, ISO 22000, IFS, and BRCGS with FDA expectations, TWeE grupo reduces customs delays, compliance risks, and financial exposure, turning regulatory compliance into a strategic advantage for cross-Atlantic trade.
