Summary[edit]

Description

Unmarked, unlabeled capsules at JFK.

At the IMFs, the FDA is asked to analyze the packages pulled by CBP and believed to contain FDA-regulated products. In fiscal year 2017, the IMFs received an estimated 275 million packages. Of these, the FDA estimates that approximately 9% of them contained drugs of some kind. In FY18, the FDA plans to screen approximately 40,000 packages after recently increasing staffing to full capacity at the IMFs. Previously, the FDA was inspecting about 10,000 packages annually. With additional resources, we hope to increase that number to 100,000 packages per year.
