FDA Recommends use of ITACS

CSMS #49876589 was issued advising members of the import community who deal in FDA-regulated articles to utilize the FDA Import Trade Auxiliary Communication System (ITACS) for current entry status and to receive Notices of FDA Action electronically.

If you are an importer of food, and you do not have an ITACS account, it can be requested through the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System. Instructions for registration are provided in the ITACS Account Management presentation. Leveraging this technology will allow your company to have direct access to notices of action after they are issued as well as status updates on FDA holds.
