Overview[]
The Import Alerts Tracking System is an automated data system that allows field employees to record information related to ineligible, illegal, or smuggled shipments of imported meat, poultry, or egg products found in commerce. The system enables better coordination in enforcement actions through quicker access to information collected on illegal entries. The system has been designed to automate the processes of incident notifications between Food Safety and Inspection Service program areas and creation of an incident report when appropriate.
