341 Active FDA import alerts on pharma plants · 110 on 66-40, 129 on 66-41, 102 other
n=341 alerts · FDA import alert feed Authoritative

The FDA has issued 341 active import alerts against pharmaceutical plants in the catalog. The 66-40 list (drug GMP failure) carries 110 plants; 66-41 (unapproved new drug promotion) carries 129; the residual 102 fall under specialised detention orders. Indian API sites dominate the recent 66-40 cohort. Each match is resolved to a plant entity and joined to active enforcement chips, so a supplier on a buyer's list surfaces with detention status before the next RFQ.

Save the import-alert dossier.

Citation-anchored brief with the listing date, the cited reason, and a chip showing whether the plant is also under a warning letter or recent OAI inspection.

Why a buyer runs it

The DWPE filter before any RFQ.

Plant-level detention status.

Every active 66-40 / 66-41 / other detention order resolved to the plant entity. If a supplier is in DWPE, you see it before commercial terms move.

Listing and delisting flow.

New listings appear within days of FDA publication; delistings flip the chip to inactive on the next refresh. Stale, manually-maintained spreadsheets miss both.

Multi-event correlation.

An import alert rarely arrives alone. The dossier overlays warning letters, OAI inspections, and recall events at the same plant so the severity picture is complete.

Weekly refresh.

The FDA OASIS detention order feed and the public import-alert list are pulled weekly. Active status is point-in-time and citation-anchored.

Four of your sixty resolved suppliers carry an active FDA import alert. Three sit on 66-40 (drug GMP failure) and one on 66-41 (unapproved new drug). Flowchem is the most acute: 66-40 stacked on a recent warning letter and a single-site footprint. The other three are single-product or single-plant exposures. Recommend immediate re-qualification for Flowchem and a watch chip on the remaining three; surfaced as a Watchlist alert.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What does import alert 66-40 cover?+

IA 66-40 is Detention Without Physical Examination of Drugs From Firms Which Have Not Met Drug GMPs. It is the FDA's strongest border-level enforcement tool against plants that have failed GMP inspection. Listed plants must petition to remove their products from automatic detention at the port of entry.

What is the difference between 66-40 and 66-41?+

66-40 targets plants with confirmed GMP failures. 66-41 targets firms promoting unapproved new drugs into the US market. The two lists rarely overlap but use the same DWPE (Detention Without Physical Examination) mechanism. PharmaDB labels each match by sub-list so the response can match the regulatory reason.

How does a plant get off an import alert?+

By petitioning the FDA after demonstrating that the underlying GMP or compliance issue is resolved. The agency may require a successful follow-up inspection, third-party audit evidence, and a CAPA file. Median active duration in the catalog is wide; the headline is years, not months.

How fresh is the import-alert data?+

The FDA's public import-alert reference page is pulled weekly. New listings typically appear within days of FDA publication; delistings flip status to inactive on the next refresh. Each row carries the listing and delisting dates.

Are non-FDA detention orders covered?+

The companion analysis covers MHRA detention notices, EMA non-compliance reports, EDQM CEP suspensions, and WHO PQ withdrawals. Cross-regulator detention views surface in a separate compliance dossier joinable to the same supplier list.

Does the screen cover OTC and compounding plants too?+

Yes. The source taxonomy is the FDA's; OTC, compounding, and contract-manufacturing sites are all included. The brief carries the FDA programme so a buyer can filter to API-relevant matches.
