ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 04-0802
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 04-0577
THIS ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE IS A REMINDER TO ALL ABI FILERS THAT
FULL ABI EDITS FOR FDA PRIOR NOTICE DATA GOES INTO EFFECT ON
MAY 13, 2004. ON THAT DATE ALL ENTRIES SUBMITTED THROUGH ABI THAT
CONTAIN A TARIFF NUMBER CODED FD3 OR FD4 WILL BE REJECTED BY ABI IF
THEY DO NOT CONTAIN FULL PRIOR NOTICE DATA. FOR IN-BOND TYPES
61 (IT) AND 62 (T&E) THE PRIOR NOTICE DATA MUST BE FILED AND
'ACCEPTED' (PASSED ALL ABI EDITS AND RECEIVED A PRIOR NOTICE
CONFIRMATION NUMBER) BEFORE AUTHORIZATION FOR MOVEMENT IS GRANTED.
WARNINGS WILL NO LONGER BE GENERATED FOR MISSING OR INCOMPLETE
PRIOR NOTICE DATA ON AND AFTER THAT DATE. (NOTE: THIS APPLIES TO
TRANSACTIONS SENT ON AND AFTER MAY 13, 2004). THIS IS PHASE 3 OF THE
BTA PROCEDURES. PLEASE REVIEW THE INFORMATION IN THE TWO LINKS
CITED IN THE ABOVE "REFERENCES" AS WELL AS ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES
04-0802 AND 04-0577. FULL PN DATA IS NOT REQUIRED FOR TRANSACTIONS
WHEREBY A PRIOR NOTICE CONFIRMATION NUMBER IS OBTAINED THROUGH CBP'S
INDEPENDENT PRIOR NOTICE TRANSACTION (WP) OR FDA'S PRIOR NOTICE SYSTEM
INTERFACE (PNSI) AND THEN SENT IN AS A PNC AFFIRMATION OF COMPLIANCE.
PRIOR NOTICE CAN BE DISCLAIMED ON LINES FLAGGED WITH AN FD3, USING THE
"PND" AFFIRMATION, WHEN THE FILER BELIEVES THE GOODS ARE NOT SUBJECT
TO PRIOR NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.
RECEIPT OF A PNC NUMBER DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THE SUBMISSION IS
ERROR FREE FOR FDA PRIOR NOTICE PURPOSES. FDA WILL TURN ON THEIR
FULL EDITS IN AUGUST 2004 AND AT THAT TIME DATA ACCURACY PROBLEMS
MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION REJECTS BY FDA.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ASSIGNED ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS.
