CSMS Message: 95-000079

THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS TRANSMITTED ON BEHALF OF THE FDA:

FDA HAS COMPLETED A "PRELIMINARY" REVIEW OF THE 1995 CHANGES TO
THE "HTS" FILE, AND HAS CORRECTED "EXISTING" FD FLAGS WHERE
NECESSARY. A COMPLETE REVIEW OF ALL "HTS" CLASSIFICATIONS IS
UNDERWAY, AND ADDITIONAL FD FLAGS WILL BE ADDED, DELETED, AND/OR
MODIFIED AS NECESSARY. IN THE INTERIM, FILERS ARE CAUTIONED
THAT THE FD FLAGS ARE ADVISORY IN NATURE, AND DO NOT REPLACE,
OR HAVE THE FORCE OF, LAW OR REGULATION. PRODUCTS REGULATED BY
FDA ARE DEFINED IN THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT, OTHER
RELATED ACTS, AND TITLE 21 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
ABSENCE OF AN FD FLAG DOES NOT RELIEVE THE FILER OF THE OBLIGATION TO
NOTIFY FDA OF THE IMPORTATION OF AN FDA REGULATED PRODUCT. QUESTIONS
AS TO THE REGULATORY STATUS OF A PARTICULAR PRODUCT SHOULD BE
REFERRED TO THE LOCAL FDA FIELD OFFICE.

1995 FD FLAG CHANGES IN THE HTS, PER FDA DOCUMENT HTS95-1.
