Problems with End-Dating of Industry 57 – Biological Products Product Codes
CBP has issued a CSMS message regarding a problem with end-dating of Industry 57 - Biological Products product codes. FDA has previously advised the trade that a large number of product codes would be end-dated. CBP states that due to a glitch in the CBP/FDA Interface, only some of these codes have been removed from the CBP product code database.FDA is working with CBP to resolve this issue and expects a solution to be implemented in two weeks. In the meantime, CBP states that it is imperative that ABI filers do not send any of these codes. Entries containing these codes will pass CBP edits but cause a processing error at FDA. CBP states that there is no way to correct such entries and filers will have to cancel them and resubmit using a current, valid product code.
