Below are the most significant changes introduced by the new regulations:
However, companies that invoice less than 10 million dollars a year from the sale of food products have until January 1, 2021 to comply with the law. We point out that in order to ascertain the size of the annual turnover, the FDA requires a copy of the latest tax return or balance sheet.
It is not clear whether a copy in Italian is enough or if an English version is needed, perhaps authenticated by a notary and accompanied by an apostille. Likewise, it is still unclear whether an accompanying statement from an accountant is also needed. In addition, it should be borne in mind that if a company sells food and other products, it will have to detail the item "Sales Revenues" in order to highlight that the sales of food specialties amount to less than 10 million dollars.
Regardless, a copy of the tax return or balance sheet must be attached to the United States import customs file. Consequently, all company data would become known to the shipper, the Italian customs declarant, the US custom broker, the Italian customs officers and the US customs inspectors, as well as the FDA officials in the US, and ultimately, the final recipient of the goods. We emphasize the fact that each of these actors has extensive contacts with all your competitors in Italy and the US.
ExportUSA, among its FDA consultancy services for the importation of food into the United States, can assist foreign companies in bringing the new nutritional value tables up to standard.
In closing, we would like to point out that the FDA has also updated the rules that govern the tables and nutritional values of food supplements, albeit in a less drastic way than in the case of food specialties.
