There was a technical issue processing FDA entries. The issue has been resolved and FDA is currently processing the backlog of entries. Please do not resubmit entries as it will create a larger backlog of entries to be processed.
FDA's Import Trade Auxiliary Communications System (ITACS) is unavailable. If documents must be submitted, they can be submitted to the local FDA office at the port of entry via that office's preferred alternate communication method. Contact information for all FDA import offices can be found on FDA's Import Offices and Ports of Entry web page: https://www.fda.gov/industry/import-program-food-and-drug-administration-fda/fda-import-offices-and-ports-entry
