Domestic Mutual Reliance Work in Division of West Coast Imports (DWCI)
Guam
In October 2023, the FDA signed a partnership agreement with the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services and the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency. The agreement formalizes the Partners’ mutual commitment to coordinate on activities related to oversight of imported food, drug, medical device, biological product, tobacco, and cosmetic products. This oversight helps prevent fraudulent and potentially dangerous products from entering supply chains, thereby advancing the objectives of the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program to combat fraud and abuse in healthcare programs.
