a. FDA is implementing their on-line import license application project which will be connected to Customs system. This task has been given to their officers who base at customs and cause lack of officers to handle application as before. So most of applications has been asked to be checked and approved by FDA HQ.
b. FDA’s officers at customs has relaxed on their import regulations in the past but recently have been asked to strictly refer to their regulations. This also cause difficulty to their officers at customs to make their decision. So all import applications for exhibitions goods are referred back to FDA HQ for their approval.
c. FDA has no special regulation and product code for exhibition goods. This will be more problem when they go full speed on their on-line project.
