FDA to Reject Entry Data When It Contradicts with the Entry Type

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 50399421 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on December 15, 2021. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "FDA to Reject Entry Data When It Contradicts with the Entry Type".
