CBP to Turn Off ACS for Stand-Alone Prior Notice by March 9, Require FSVP Filing May 30

CBP intends "to shut off [Automated Commercial System] Prior Notice Stand-alone transactions by March 9," the Food and Drug Administration said in a presentation at the March 1 Port of Newark quarterly brokers meeting. Also, the FDA noted that Foreign Supplier Verification Program information must be submitted through ACE starting May 30 for certain food products. A new application program interface for software vendors to incorporate a product code builder into software packages is also in the works, the FDA said. The interface is the result of requests for a product code query meant to help prevent rejections due to invalid codes, it said.
