Longshoremen at the Port of Montreal, QC will strike for 24hours from Sunday 10/27 at 7am until Monday 10/28 at 6:59am which will result in a complete stoppage of container handling at the port. The backlog caused is expected to create a 3-day congestion clearance period based on similar actions taken earlier in the year. The delay won't likely be enough for carriers to decide to reroute vessels from the port so importers and exporters will have to contend with the delays unfortunately. The ongoing dispute doesn't yet have an end in sight as the longshoremen look to get a better working contract.

As a reminder, owners, operators, and agents in charge of a domestic or international facility that's involved with handling, storing, packing, manufacturing, or processing food for human or animal consumption in the USA must register the facility with the FDA. If the registration lapses, it will be considered expired. You will need a unique facility identifier, such as a DUNS number, obtainable from the D&B website. There's no registration fee, simply login in or register on the FDA's FIS account here: https://lnkd.in/eYHQPGhc
