I see Navaid's is on the list and I have some henna in transit from
him now. Is this just henna products from Pakistan or from
anywhere? Does this apply to items that are shipped and come into
port or all items regardless of how they enter the country...air or
ship? I guess this is not a good time to order henna powder from
overseas.

If the FDA is not approving it for use on skin then how does this
affect henna artist applying henna to other people? I know there
could be no ramifications for someone applying it to themselves, but
what does it mean to apply something that is not FDA approved onto
someone else? This does not feel like a good thing.
