CBP Sets New Date for FDA Processing of Port of Entry Changes in ACE
FDA expects to begin processing port of entry changes through ACE's production environment "no earlier than" Sept. 9, CBP said in a CSMS message Aug. 14. An additional CSMS message will be sent out near Sept. 9 to either confirm or provide an update on the "planned deployment date," the message said. CBP had announced earlier this year that it began testing the change in its certification environment (see 2303030055).
