Did you know that in 2020 more than 85% of all U.S. imports considered top categories of PPE were produced in China?
Importers awaiting a critical shipment of PPE should make sure they are following the latest guidelines from the FDA to ensure freight is not stuck in customs upon arrival in the U.S. In addition, there are specific guidelines based on the country of origin and the type of PPE being shipped.
