Safer Shrimp Imports Act
This bill requires foreign countries exporting shrimp to the U.S. to have food inspection systems equivalent to the FDA's. Shrimp from countries without such agreements or systems meeting FDA standards (including uniform enforcement and conditions for shrimp handling) would be refused entry starting one year after enactment. Foreign governments must demonstrate system equivalence by submitting relevant laws and regulations to the FDA within 180 days of the bill's passage. The FDA must report annually to Congress on implementation of these requirements.
