Due to scheduled maintenance, FDA will be unable to process incoming entries on Wednesday December 12th from 11 PM EST to Thursday December 13th 1 AM EST. As a result, the FDA Interoperability Web Service (IWS), the interface between CBP and FDA, will be down and FDA will not be processing inbound entries or outbound messages until the end of the maintenance period. Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI) will be operational. FDA will be operating under Prior Notice contingency scenario 2.
If Prior Notice has been submitted via ACE and confirmation has been received:
• No further action is required.
If Prior Notice has been submitted via ACE and confirmation has not been received:
• Please do not resubmit entries as this will cause additional delays.
• Filers have the options to:
o Wait until the issue is resolved, unless this will cause the prior notice submission to be untimely. Filers who choose this option should understand that they remain responsible under section 801(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under the prior notice final rule for filing timely prior notice.
o Provide CBP officers with evidence to show prior notice was submitted via ACE (e.g. signed copy of the ABI/ACE transmission).
If Prior Notice has not been submitted:
