Operations Update:
FDA Deadline – Renewal 2022 is Coming Up:
The FDA renewal period for 2022 begins on October 1, 2022. This year’s renewal includes an additional step of obtaining and updating the registration with the facilities Unique Facility Identifier (“UFI”) otherwise known as the facilities “DUNS number.” We will send out more explicit instructions at a later date, however:
**PLEASE NOTE** THE ADDRESS MUST APPEAR EXACTLY AS IT IS REPORTED ON YOUR FDA APPLICATION. ***PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THE ADDRESS INFORMATION FROM YOUR FDA REGISTRATION INTO THE QUERY TO AVOID ANY TYPOS/MISMATCH ETC. ***
Additionally, there are three possible Non-compliance Statuses you may have received notification of from FDA:
- UFI PENDING– FDA application does not have a UFI number listed.
- MISMATCH UFI – address on DUNS/UFI etc does not match FDA application address etc.
- INVALID UFI– have the incorrect or invalid UFI/DUNS number.
If you have received notification for any of the above issues your registration is NOT VALID and will cancel on January 1, 2023. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO REMEDY YOUR APPLICATION OR DUNS/UFI NUMBER PRIOR TO THE CLOSURE OF RENEWAL PERIOD.
Port Delays in NY/NJ
Vessel wait times in NY / NJ ports are one to three weeks. This is due to a high demand from Transatlantic and Transpacific lanes and due to a build up of empty containers causing congestion at the port itself. Elenteny is arranging pickup of containers as soon as they are available from the port.
Scheduling Pick-ups in France
The harvest is happening early in much of France this year, leading to a scheduling issue for some wineries as people return from holiday and then get right to picking grapes. If any of your wineries have specific pickup dates they require for your orders, let us know and we’ll do our best of accommodate.
