Importing Food Products into the United States
进口食品到美国
Under provisions of the U.S. law contained in the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, importers of food products intended for introduction into U.S. interstate commerce are responsible for ensuring that the products are safe, sanitary, and labeled according to U.S. requirements. (All imported food is considered to be interstate commerce.)
在《美国食品、药品和化妆品法案》之法律条文的规定下，意图让（境外）食品流通到美国州际贸易市场的进口商们，有责任确保所进口的食品是安全的、卫生的、按美国要求贴签的。（所有进口到美国的食品，都被认为是流通入美国州际贸易市场的。）
FDA is not authorized under the law to approve, certify, license, or otherwise sanction individual food importers, products, labels, or shipments. Importers can import foods into the United States without prior sanction by FDA, as long as the facilities that produce, store, or otherwise handle the products are registered with FDA, and prior notice of incoming shipments is provided to FDA.
法律并未授权美国FDA对单独的食品进口商、食品、标签或货物进行批准、认证、给予执照或以其他形式准许。进口商们可以在事先未经美国FDA准许的情况下进口食品，只要他们用来生产、贮藏或以其他形式处理食品的设施已在美国FDA登记过，并且在货物要进入美国前向FDA预先通报过即可。
Imported food products are subject to FDA inspection when offered for import at U.S. ports of entry. FDA may detain shipments of products offered for import if the shipments are found not to be in compliance with U.S. requirements. Both imported and domestically-produced foods must meet the same legal requirements in the United States.
美国FDA会在进口食品进入美国进口口岸时对其进行检查。如果检查时发现货物不符合美国的要求，美国FDA可能会扣押这些货物。不论是进口到美国的食品，还是美国国内生产的食品，都必须符合美国法律的要求（两者适用的法律要求是一样的）。
