⚠ FDA Import Alert 66-80 — USA

Import Alert 66-80 allows FDA to detain GLP-1 APIs (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) without physical examination if they appear adulterated. Only FDA-registered manufacturers on the "Green List" are compliant. This is critical for 2026 travelers carrying or sourcing GLP-1 peptides.
