Beginning December 16, 2017, any entry with ACE Cargo Release that includes an FDA standalone prior notice confirmation number that has been refused by FDA will receive messaging via ACE Cargo Release Status Notification (SO) transaction. Prior to this change, the refusal information was not sent back to the entry filer on any SO transaction.

This notification will be via the following codes within the SO transaction:
SO70 Status code - 08 Move to Secure Holding Facility
SO70 Reason code - 28 Prior Notice Refused - Inaccurate Prior Notice
SO70 Reason code - 29 Prior Notice Refused – Untimely Prior Notice
SO70 Reason code - 30 Prior Notice Refused – Prior Notice Not Submitted for All Foods
SO70 Reason code - 31 Prior Notice Refused – Registration Hold
SO71 Sub Reason code 133 - Inaccurate Manufacturer
