The products do not originate from the prefectures of Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, and Tochigi inJapan; or2. The products do not contain violative levels of radionuclide contamination, by means of laboratoryanalysisAdditionally, the importing community should be aware FDA has increased its surveillance of allproducts from the affected prefectures of Fukushima, Gunman, Ibaraki, and Tochigi; and has increasedits surveillance of products from other areas of Japan. Importers can expect FDA to conduct manymore document reviews for Japanese shipments and can expect examinations and sample collections ata much higher rate than usual. FDA Districts may be asking for additional information related toregions where products originate and to the date of shipment from that region.Importers are advised that it may speed FDA's review process if entry documentation is provided in atimely manner and, for those shipments indicated for examination or sampling, if location andavailability information is provided in a timely manner.As indicated in the Import Alert, FDA and the Japanese government will continue to collaborate toensure products from the affected prefectures do not pose a health risk to U.S. consumers.
