REFERENCE: Regulatory Procedures Manual Chapter 9, Subchapter "Coverage
of Personal Importations" issued 2/11/89. (Note: This
subchapter, previously designated as RPM 9-71, was issued to
consolidate guidance that previously existed in RPM
Chapters: 9-71, "Mail Importations" and Chapter 9-72,
"Coverage of Importations Contained in Personal Baggage,"
and the Pilot Guidance for Release of Mail Importation dated
July 29, 1988.)
Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) 120.500 (formerly 7150.10)
gives extensive background on health fraud, and the indirect
risks of relying on unproven remedies. Health fraud has
been defined by the agency as the promotion of unproven
medical products.
CHARGE: "The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to
Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be a new drug within
the meaning of Section 201(p) without an effective new drug
application (NDA)[Unapproved New Drug, Section 505(a)]".
*** When unaccompanied by labeling which makes drug claims,
but other evidence attributable to the manufacturer, owner,
or consignee exists which establishes the product's intended
use as a a drug, charge:
"The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to
Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be a drug within the
meaning of Section 201(g) and it lacks adequate directions
for use. [Misbranded, Section 502(f)(1)]". ***

OFFICE: Division of Import Operations and Policy (HFC-170)
*** Center For Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of
Compliance (HFD-300) ***
REASON FOR
ALERT: Media reports concerning FDA's guidance for release of
importations for personal use have inaccurately suggested
that any unapproved drug may be imported through the mail
for personal use. The pilot guidance and subsequent
Regulatory Procedures Manual Subchapter, "Coverage of
Personal Importations," that issued is much more restrictive
than reported. The RPM subchapter provides guidance for use
in those instances in which field personnel determine that
the exercise of discretion regarding the admissibility of an
unapproved drug might be appropriate. The guidance is by its
very terms discretionary, and does not provide anyone with a
right to import any drug.
The guidance provides that release of an unapproved drug for
personal use may be appropriate if, among other
considerations, the drug is intended for a serious condition
for which effective treatment may not be available
domestically either through commercial or clinical means,
and it is not considered to represent an unreasonable risk.
The guidance is intended to apply only to: (1) persons who
have received treatment in a foreign country with an
unapproved drug which is not available in the United States,
and who, upon returning to the United States, have imported
the drug for their personal use in an effort to continue the
treatment started abroad; and (2) persons who have made
their own arrangements for obtaining an unapproved drug from
foreign sources, when the drug has not been promoted in the
United States.
When there is evidence of promotion of unapproved drugs to
persons in the United States, the products should be
considered for detention. Evidence of promotion may consist
of solicitations for mail orders, press releases,
advertising materials, and other public announcements that
are directed to persons residing in the U.S.
The subchapter of the RPM on coverage of personal
importations provides guidance for FDA personnel on when it
is appropriate to recommend import alerts involving
unapproved products likely to be imported for personal use.
Such recommendations are appropriate when an unapproved
product represent a health fraud, as defined in CPG 120.500
or an unapproved foreign product is promoted for mail-order
shipments. Thus, the field may recommend detain without
physical examination when an unapproved *** and/or
misbranded *** product poses either a direct health risk or
indirect health risk.
GUIDANCE: Districts may detain without physical examination any
Unapproved *** and/or misbranded drug *** listed in the
attachment.
Districts may also detain without physical examination any
other unapproved *** and/or misbranded *** drug that fails
to meet the discretionary release criteria in the RPM. ***
Contact CDER Import-Export Team before detaining any OTC
product that appears to only meet the misbranding criteria
and would therefore be detained on misbranding charges
exclusively. *** When detained products appear to meet these
criteria are not listed in the attachment, districts should
forward documentation to DIOP for consideration for
inclusion in this alert.
SPECIAL NOTE: Districts should continue to enforce, as appropriate,related
import alerts restricting fraudulent, dangerous and
commercial unapproved *** and/or misbranded *** drug
importations.
FOI: No purging required.
KEYWORDS: New drugs, unapproved new drugs, *** misbranded drugs ***

Although Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has been identified as an unapproved new
drug and covered in this import alert, effective March 13, 2000, GHB was
classified as a Schedule I Controlled Substance and under DEA authorization.
Therefore, entries of GHB, or its analogue GBL should be returned to Customs
for appropriate disposition. (GBL and related substances can be treated as
controlled substance analogues, and as Schedule I Controlled Substances, if
intended for human consumption).

body to gamma hydroxybutyrate or GHB. GBL products are sold in liquid and
powder form.
GBL and GHB products are promoted with claims to build muscles, improve
physical performance, enhance sex, reduce stress and induce sleep. These
products are very potent unapproved drugs and powerful hypnotic substances
known to produce significant and potentially dangerous sedating effects.
District may detain the above products without physical examination from all
sources. FDA is aware these products are being offered for importation using
various non-drug claims such as: "wood softener" "bubble bath", etc. Further,
GBL is a known ingredient for commercial floor strippers. Never-the-less,
unless evidence is provided to the district that supports the product for non-
drug use, the product should not be considered for release. These products
are also inappropriate for release under FDA's Personal Importation Guidance.

FDA has determined that unapproved versions of mifepristone manufactured
outside the U.S. are being promoted in this country for use to end pregnancy.
Due to the risks to the safety of the user in inadequately controlled
settings, mifepristone should be considered inappropriate for release under
the Personal Import Guidance. Districts encountering entries of mifepristone
should determine whether the importer of record for the article being entered
is Danco Laboratories, LLC, New York, New York (distributor of the U.S.
approved product) or whether the article is being entered under an IND that is
in effect. In such circumstances (when the article is being imported by the
distributor of the U.S. approved product or under an IND that is in effect),
the article is outside the scope of this guidance.
(Districts should contact CDER for verification of IND status.)

Note: product may be entering as a dietary supplement, therefore, we have

The product's accompanying literature and indicates Serrapeptase(Serratia
Peptidase Enzyme), among other claims, is used to treat arterial blockage in
coronary patients" and the product has anti-inflammatory and pain blocking
benefits. The firm's website, ^ ^ makes similar claims.
In 1982, Woodward's Gripe Water was promoted for infants including newborns
and older children over 12 months of age and labeled for gripes, acidity,
flatulency, a quick and gentle way of relieving baby's hiccups, minor tummy
upsets and teething. The article contains, among other things, dill oil or
dill water, sodium bicarbonate, and 3.67 4.69% alcohol. Gripe water has been
used in various foreign countries for many years. However, in the United
States it is not generally recognized as safe and effective for its intended
uses, based on its formula and labeling, and therefore, is considered a new
drug which cannot be marketed without an approved New Drug Application. In
addition the Center for Drugs Evaluation and Research (CDER) has safety
concerns regarding the dill oil or dill water ingredients. A recent OASIS
data search indicates that there continue to be importations of gripe water
into the U.S. at various ports of entry. Districts should Detain Without
Physical Examination shipments labeled as gripe water or other types of water
aqueous products (i.e., dill water, dill oil) which might be labeled with drug
claims.

teething pain and associated troubles. The labeling contains
structure/function claims, such as using the product to relieve children's
teething pains, making this product a drug under 201(g)(1) of the FFDCA.

ATTACHMENT (B) TO IMPORT ALERT #66-41 1/23/07
Unapproved New Drugs That May Be Subject to DWPE
***ATTACHMENT B: "AYURVEDIC DRUGS"
PRODUCTS: Ayurvedic, a/k/a: Pushpapdhanwa, etc.
PRODUCT CODE: New Product Code for Ayurvedics TBD
54F[][]99
54Y[][]99
PROBLEM: Unapproved drugs
PAC: AAP
PAF: 56008H
COUNTRIES: All
MANUFACTURER/SHIPPER: All Firms and Products Listed
CHARGES: For finished products that appear to be intended for
use as drugs: "The article is subject to refusal of
admission pursuant to section 801(a)(3) in that it
appears to be a new drug under the meaning of section
201(p) without an effective new drug application, as
required by section 505. [Unapproved new drug,
section 505(a)]"
REASON FOR ALERT: A number of ayurvedic drugs may present a serious
health hazard to the user because they may contain
heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic.
Heavy metals pose a particular health risk because
they may accumulate in vital organs. For example,
arsenic poisoning can cause nausea, abdominal pain,
vomiting, severe diarrhea, neuropathy, dermatitis,
heart abnormalities, kidney or liver damage, and
reduced motor nerve function. Lead poisoning can
cause fatigue, irritability, insomnia, nerve
disorders, muscle and joint pain, memory and
concentration problems, dizziness, seizures, and
coma. Mercury poisoning can cause fatigue, headache,
muscle weakness, joint pain, tremors, irritability,
concentration problems, slowed sensory and motor nerve
function, and reduced mental function. Children are
particularly at risk from the toxic effects of heavy
metals.
BACKGROUND: A December 15, 2004, article published in the Journal
of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports
that of 70 ayurvedic drugs sampled and tested, 14
(20%) were found to contain potentially harmful levels
of lead, mercury, and/or arsenic. These products were
produced in South Asia and were purchased in South
Asian grocery stores locatedin Boston, Massachusetts.
In July 2005, Health Canada tested a number of
ayurvedic products available in the Canadian market
and determined that they contained high levels of
lead, mercury, and/or arsenic. In August 2005, the
Department of Health, City and County of San
Francisco, tested a number of ayurvedic products that
had been consumed by an individual who suffered severe
lead poisoning and found that the products contained
elevated levels of lead. In 2003, the Santa Clara
County Department of Health, in California, tested
Pushpadhanwa, an ayurvedic product that was associated
with two incidents of injury, and found the product
contained high levels (8%) of lead.
GUIDANCE: Most imported ayurvedic products are marketed as
drugs. Some ayurvedic products are imported as
dietary supplements. These products are
distinguishable by the fact that their labels contain
the statements "Dietary Supplement" and the disclaimer
required for dietary supplements. Districts
encountering ayurvedic products labeled as dietary
supplements should consult with CFSAN for guidance.
All ayurvedic drug products subject to this Import
Alert are intended for ingestion, are labeled in
English and Hindi, or totally in Hindi. Under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act), a drug is
an article intended for use in the diagnosis, cure,
mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. 21
U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B). A drug is likewise an article
(other than food) intended to affect the structure or
any function of the body. 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(C).
Ayurvedic products that are not dietary supplements
can still be drugs if they do not bear disease claims
but are intended to affect the structure or any
function of the body. Drugs that contain heavy metals
(other than minor unavoidable trace amounts found in
some drugs) are not generally recognized as safe and
effective for any indication. Therefore, these
products are "new drugs" within the meaning of section
201(p) of the Act. Since these products are not the
subject of an approved new drug application (NDA),
their importation into the United States violates
section 505(a) of the Act. The products listed in the
attachment are the ayurvedic products that were tested
and found to contain heavy metals as described above.
Districts may detain without physical examination any
shipments of the finished ayurvedic drugs listed in
the attachment. Discretionary release of these
products under the Personal Importation guidance of
Chapter 9 of the Regulatory Procedures Manual (RPM)
may not be appropriate.
