FMD in Wholesale

Supply of goods from a source other than the MAH / Original manufacturer.

Goods purchased in this way will need to have to be scanned and the batch of serial numbers sent to the NMVS for verification before they can be accepted into the wholesale stock.

Customer Returns

All stock returned from a customer must be scanned and verified and the safety feature should be checked before being accepted back into stock.

Damaged goods / Disposal

Any stock that is damaged and needs to be written off has to be deregistered before disposal. This is done by scanning the products involved with the scanning system in the write off mode as a write off is a separate transaction type on the NMVS.

Section 23 Customers

Some customers are exempt from the FMD regulations. This includes Dentists, Veterinary practices and many more.

When supplying goods to this category of customer the medicinal products must be scanned and deregistered prior to supplying to the customer.

Should stock be returned from these customers the undo registration scan would need to be done provided the stock was returned in the timescale currently 10 days and the processing of the return is done at the same location as the deregistration.

Export Customers

Any product that is being exported out of the EU will need to be deregistered before it leaves the premises.
