And if asked to provide evidence, documents, etc backing up the declaration, there will be a limited time to do so. Management might take the position to get the doc's when asked, and hope that they are indeed in compliance. The consequence can be banned from the market for a period. That happened due to a manufacturing defect and insufficient quality control to detect the defect. Near a year to correct and demonstrate compliance before getting off the ban.
So nothing moves into our distribution control without solid evidence of compliance. A letter from an importer does not suffice, but if often offered. Even a big time manufacturer has offered to print anything we want on the label.
