FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine has launched its Export Certification Application and Tracking System (CVM eCATS), a new online system that allows U.S. animal food, drug and device manufacturers to apply for, track and receive export certificates electronically for CVM-regulated animal products. Previously, CVM-regulated product makers were required to submit a paper application by mail. “CVM eCATS will reduce the amount of time it takes for a manufacturer to apply for and receive export certificates, simplify the process for applying for multiple certificates and enable foreign governments to verify the authenticity of a manufacturer's export certificate, enabling faster import processing,” an [agency notice](https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/cvm-updates/fda-launches-new-online-portal-assist-industry-exporting-animal-products?ref=fdaweb.com) says. “The new portal will also help the FDA to more efficiently review applications in a paperless environment and better track applications and export certificates that have been issued. The new portal will also track the status of requests, provide email notifications to users and allow U.S. exporters to print approved certificates online.”
