Importing items considered personal protective equipment, or PPE, has always been in high demand, especially now during a worldwide pandemic. In 2020, more than $25 million of PPE was imported. Importers awaiting a critical shipment of PPE should make sure they are following the latest guidelines from the FDA to ensure freight is not stuck in customs upon arrival in the U.S. In addition, there are specific guidelines based on the country of origin and the type of PPE being shipped.
