SUBJECT: PROGRAM FIX MADE TO FDA PRIOR NOTICE 'WP' APPLICATION
AN ABI PROGRAM FIX WENT IN MARCH 3, 2004 THAT CORRECTS THE 'BN'
REJECT PROBLEM THAT FILERS OF THE FDA PRIOR NOTICE 'WP' APPLICATION WERE
EXPERIENCING. FILERS HAD BEEN SENDING LEGITIMATE CONSIGNEE INFORMATION
YET STILL RECEIVED APPLICATION 'BN' REJECTS WITH AN 'F' (FOREIGN BASED
CONSIGNEE) REJECT REASON CODE. THIS WILL NO LONGER OCCUR UNLESS THE
CONSIGNEE IS ACTUALLY FOREIGN (NOTE: A FOREIGN CONSIGNEE SHOULD NEVER
BE SENT IN ANY FDA INTERFACE TRANSACTION!!!) TO ENSURE AN ERROR-FREE
'WP' TRANSACTION / 'BN' RESPONSE WITH PRIOR NOTICE CONFIRMATION NUMBER,
FILERS SHOULD SEND THE ENTIRE SET OF CONSIGNEE AFFIRMATIONS OF
COMPLIANCE WHICH INCLUDE CON, COM, COF, COP, COE, COC, C01,
C02 (IF APPLICABLE), COU, COV, COZ AND COA. NOTE: THE CON DOES NOT
HAVE TO BE SENT ON A TYPE 62 T&E IN-BOND. THE CON, WHEN SENT, MUST BE
IN THE REQUIRED ABI FORMAT AS SHOWN ON PAGE ENS-10 OF THE CATAIR. IF AN
IRS NUMBER IS SENT, IT MUST CONTAIN THE SUFFIXES (FORMAT = NN-NNNNNNNXX)
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ASSIGNED CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE.
