In order to export gelatin capsules, a USDA permit is required. The
USDA demands all documentation displaying ALL animal-origin materials,
as well as their sources. This information is sent to the USDA, who
then, upon review, creates a permit - verbage is within their control
- meaning, they may or may not add countries of origin of all RUMINANT
materials. This is creating problems, as suppliers of gelatin are
always changing their sources of countries of gelatin origin, thus
forcing us to amend the USDA permit. How can this be mitigated? Is
there a loophole, a safeguard against this constant 'upgrading' of the
permit? I need either broad wording or very specific wording -
basically, I need help!! VERY URGENT. |
