HHS has announced the Safe Importation Action Plan, which outlines the government’s intention to pursue two pathways to allow safe drug importation from foreign markets.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced today that HHS and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are publishing a* that outlines two potential pathways that would lay the foundation for the safe importation of certain drugs originally intended for foreign markets.

The Action Plan outlines the government’s intention to pursue two pathways to allow safe drug importation from foreign markets: Through guidance, FDA would provide recommendations to manufacturers of FDA-approved drugs who seek to import into the U.S. versions of those drugs they sell in foreign countries. Under this pathway, manufacturers would use a new National Drug Code for those products, potentially allowing them to offer a lower price than what their current distribution contracts require.
