Biotechnology

Biotechnology trade products — spanning engineered organisms, fermentation-derived biologics, agricultural biotech inputs, and related research materials — sit at the intersection of FDA, USDA APHIS, and EPA regulatory jurisdiction depending on the specific article. The Census Bureau's ATP Biotechnology category captures goods whose commercial value derives primarily from the application of biological systems and living organisms to industrial or medical processes. Import compliance for many biotech articles requires advance coordination with the relevant admissibility agency, as classification alone does not determine admissibility.
