CBP Administrative Messages, Electronic Bulletin Board Notices, Etc

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued an administrative message from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stating that several hundred FDA/BTA entry lines were improperly rejected on Saturday, November 6, 2004 with "C" "Invalid PNC Number". The entries that received this reject will have to be corrected through the OGA correction function "CP" update sending the exact same data as in the original transmission. CBP states that this will "refresh" the FDA system and allow FDA to release the entry.
