THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION'S PRIOR NOTICE SYSTEM INTERFACE (PNSI)
ALLOWS FOR TRANSMISSION OF A BILL OF LADING NUMBER UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 16
ALPHA-NUMERIC CHARACTERS. FILERS MUST INCLUDE THE ISSUER CODE OF THE
BILL OF LADING AS THE PREFIX (THE FIRST FOUR CHARACTERS BEGINNING FROM
THE LEFT) AS PART OF THE BILL OF LADING. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE CBP
TO REJECT THE PNSI-BASED PRIOR NOTICE TRANSMISSION BACK TO THE FDA. THIS
REJECT MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT CARGO RELEASE FOR THESE SHIPMENTS.
