Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated Import Alert 98-06 to implement stricter regulatory measures for new tobacco products that do not have the necessary marketing authorization. The alert specifically states that, aside from electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), all new tobacco products that have not received FDA marketing authorization will be considered adulterated or misbranded products. This means that such products may be detained upon import until the related issues are addressed.
According to the latest revision, the FDA has added certain companies and their products to a red list, implementing detention measures that do not require physical inspections. This includes MINISTRY OF SNUS from Denmark and ANOTHER SNUS FACTORY STOCKHOLM AB from Sweden, with their respective products ACE and Loop brands of smokeless tobacco and nicotine delivery products.
