Day Four: Government Shutdown

As we move into the weekend, we have no major updates on the effects of the government shutdown on trade. Reports from the various ports in the USA indicate that wine and spirits shipments are still moving smoothly, with no customs issues or port delays. With some FDA staff on furlough, we do have reports of delays in FDA exams or items on hold with no exam scheduled.
 
We will monitor the situation over the weekend and report back to you on Monday. Please feel free to contact WSSA with any questions or comments.
