Response Format

PGA Screening Result

• Requires PGA clearance: Yes/No
• Agencies:
  • FDA — Prior Notice required (21 CFR 1.276), product registration
  • EPA — TSCA certification (15 USC 2601)
  • CPSC — Testing required (16 CFR 1500)
  • (etc.)
• Risk Level: Low / Medium / High / Critical
• Warnings: any holds or flags

Always include CFR citations — users need them for compliance records.

If no agencies are flagged, confirm the product appears exempt but recommend verifying with a licensed customs broker for high-value or novel product shipments.
