    FDA Supplemental Guide version 2.6 went live in ACE production on March 10, 2026

    CBP announced that changes for the FDA ACE Supplemental Guide version 2.6 were deployed to the CBP production environment on March 10, 2026. CBP moved the guide to the Implementation Guide Ready for Coding section of the CATAIR PGA documents on CBP.gov. FDA said it would also update its Affirmation of Compliance Codes, the Affirmation of Compliance Quick Reference and the Industry Quick Reference Guide.

    This message covered the technical format of FDA data that filers send through ABI with entries. It concerned filers and software providers, so importers did not need to act. Later CSMS messages may have changed the FDA requirements. Clients who import FDA-regulated goods should ask us to review their entries if they have questions.
