Hello,
A friend of mine manufactures a device class I exempt in Europe, bringing it to the USA soon.
> European Manufacturer, Registered and Listed at the FDA
> Will designate First Importer
> But likely will sell directly to other USA importers, shipping directly from Europe
The questions:
1) Can a European manufacturer, registered and listed, ship to, consign to, and invoice, a USA importer that is not their specifically appointed FDA-registered First Importer?
2) Assuming answer 1) is "yes" does the manufacturer give any form of intervention, participation, commission, obtain permit from, or have the First Importer do the actual importation process? Or the can the First Importer be skipped altogether?
Thank you!
