We tailor Product Evaluation classes to meet the needs of the operation. We help you prepare training samples and walk you through the process of how FDA defines the presence of decomposition, and steps you can take to avoid being placed on Import Alert (Detention Without Physical Examination- DWPE).
We can also tailor classes to meet the needs of a private course.
