ABI Error Message

AHK:	CUSTOMS IMPORTER NUMBER ASSIGNED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN 'IMPORTER ADD' TRANSACTION, APPLICATION TI. IF THE FILER REQUESTS A CUSTOMS-ASSIGNED NUMBER FOR A COMPANY WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY HAD A NUMBER ASSIGNED TO THE SAME NAME AND ADDRESS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

1MB:	INVALID DIST/PORT ENTERED

A DISTRICT/PORT MUST BE ENTERED FOR PORT AUTHORITY ONLY. THEY ARE VALIDATED AGAINST THE REGION-DISTRICT-PORT FILE. THE ENTERED DISTRICT/PORT IS NOT ON THE FILE.

RBS:	RECONCILIATION IMPRTR ID INVALID

THIS ERROR MESSAGE INDICATES THAT THE FORMAT OF THE RECON IMPORTER ID IS NOT A VALID IRS/SS/CUSTOMS ASSIGNED NUMBER FORMAT. VALID IRS FORMAT IS NN-NNNNNNNXX (WHERE 'XX'=SUFFIX); SS IS NNN-NN-NNNN; CUSTOMS ASSIGNED NUMBER IS YYDDPP-NNNNN.

15K:	DUTY COMPUTATION NOT PERFORMED

OTHER ERRORS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE DUTY COMPUTATION CAN BE PERFORMED.

VNB:	FD 701:FORM REQUIRED

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN THE FILER SENDS A TARIFF NUMBER LINE WHERE THE HARMONIZED NUMBER IS CODED FD2 (FDA DATA IS REQUIRED) IN THE HSA FILE BUT FDA INFORMATION (RECS FD01-FD05) HAS NOT BEEN TRANSMITTED. A DISCLAIM WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

977:	TEXTILE CATEGORY INVALID

THIS MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN A SUMMARY THAT HAS QUOTA MERCHANDISE IS TRANSMITTED TO ABI WITH A LINE THAT IS SUBJECT TO QUOTA/VISA REPORTING, BUT FOR WHICH NO 51 RECORD IS ALSO INCLUDED. THIS MESSAGE SHOULD BE DISTINGUISHED FROM ERROR MESSAGE 0LK, WHICH  WILL RESULT FROM THE TRANSMISSION OF THE WRONG CATEGORY NUMBER (FROM THE TARIFF FILE).

Q43:	STATEMENT ALREADY PD VIA ACH

THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT IF A FILER ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE AN ENTRY FROM A STATEMENT FOR WHICH THE ACH PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION TRANSACTION (APPLICATION QN) HAS ALREADY BEEN RECORDED IN ACS. FILERS WILL OFTEN SEND APPLICATION HP (STATEMENT ADD/DELETE) AT OR ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY TRANSMIT THE ACH PAYMENT. IF BOTH ARE RECEIVED SIMULTANEOUSLY, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE ACH TRANSACTION WILL BE PROCESSED PRIOR TO THE STATEMENT ADD/DELETE. IN SUCH A CASE, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE THE RESULT.

20A:	INVALID CARRIER CODE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTIONS. IF THE CARRIER CODE REPORTED IN THE 30 REC, POS 73-76, IS NOT ON THE CARRIER LIST FILE . THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE SUMMARY CONTAINS A CARGO CERTIFICATION REQUEST. THE CARRIER CODE FIELD MUST BE FOUR CHARACTERS. OCEAN SHIPMENTS MUST HAVE A FOUR CHARACTER STANDARD ALPHA CARRIER CODE (SCAC) IN THIS FIELD. AIR SHIPMENTS MUST HAVE A TWO CHARACTER IATA CODE (ALSO FOUND ON THE CARRIER CODE FILE) IN THE POS 73-74 OF THE 30 RECORD. NOTE: IF THE CARRIER CODE IS OMITTED ENTIRELY, ERROR MSG 2DF WILL BE GENERATED. NOTE - THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO GENERATE IF THE ENTRY USES AN AIR CARRIER CODE AND AN OCEAN PORT OF UNLADING CODE OR VICE VERSA.

2AI:	INVALID BOND TYPE

A SHORT LISTING OF CURRENT BOND TYPES AND THEIR CORRESPONDING ACTIVITY CODES CAN BE FOUND IN THE CATAIR ON PAGE QIB-8. NOTE: ABI FILERS WHO DO BOND QUERIES WILL RECEIVE A SINGLE ALPHA CHARACTER CODE DESIGNATING WHICH TYPE OF BOND IS ON FILE, IF ANY, FOR THE IMPORTER BEING QUERIED. THE FILER'S SOFTWARE SHOULD TRANSLATE THE CODE INTO THE APPROPRIATE BOND TYPE AND DESCRIPTION.

VOM:	INVALID REMOTE ENTRY DDPP

THE DDPP SENT IN THE 'REMOTE DDPP' PORTION OF THE 'B' RECORD, POSITIONS 47-50 MUST BE A VALID DDPP IN THE DISTRICT/PORT FILE.

99A:	INVALID AG LICENSE FORMAT

THE ENTERED AGRICULTURE LICENSE MUST BE IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FORMATS: 'N-AA-NNN-N' OR'N-A -NNN-N' WHERE 'N' =NUMERIC, 'A'=ALPHA, AND ' '=SPACE.  1. OR SUNDAY.

12R:	FIRMS CDE INV FOR ENTRY PURPOSES

THE FIRMS CODE RECORD WHICH MATCHES THE TRANSMITTED FIRMS CODE CONTAINS A FACILITY TYPE OF EITHER 07 OR 08; THESE FACILITY TYPES ARE NOT VALID FOR ENTRY PURPOSES: 07 = DATA PROCESSING SITE 08 = CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE VALID ENTRY FACILITY TYPES: 01 = CUSTOMS CONTAINER STATION 02 = FOREIGN TRADE ZONE 03 = PIER 04 = BONDED WAREHOUSE 05 = INSPECTION FACILITY 06 = IMPORTERS' PREMISES FOR FURTHER HELP CONTACT YOUR LOCAL "FIRMS" ADMINISTRATOR (QUERY "TIP" P21)

EJK:	INVALID TOTAL INVOICE VALUE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION CI). THE C81 RECORD, POS 8-22 (WITH TWO DECIMAL PLACES OCCUPYING THE LAST TWO POSITIONS) DISPLAYS THE TOTAL INVOICE VALUE FOR THE INVOICE BEING TRANSMITTED. THIS FIGURE IS THE SUM OF THE VARIOUS C33 RECORD INVOICE AMOUNTS, WITH ADJUSTMENTS FOR VARIOUS ALLOWANCES AND CHARGES, AS OUTLINED ON PAGE AII-59, NOTE 1. IF THE TOTAL OF ALL C33 AND RELATED RECORDS, ROUNDED TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES, DOES NOT EXACTLY AGREE WITH THE FIGURE REPORTED IN POS 8-22 OF THE C81 RECORD, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

822:	ULT CONSIGNEE NUMBER VOIDED

THIS MESSAGE RESULTS WHEN THE NUMBER CITED IN THE 10 REC, POS 20-30 HAS BEEN FLAGGED AS "VOID" IN THE IMPORTER DATABASE. THE NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER USUALLY VOIDS ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE  NUMBERS. THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR A NUMBER TO BE VOIDED IS THAT IT IS A DUPLICATE FOR THE SAME IMPORTER OR CONSIGNEE. WHEN LOCAL PORTS DISCOVER SUCH DUPLICATIONS, THEY CAN CONTACT THE NFC TO HAVE ONE OF THE NUMBERS VOIDED. ONLY THE NFC CAN REACTIVATE A VOIDED CONSIGNEE NUMBER. THIS MESSAGE ALSO APPLIES TO THE HI (CARGO RELEASE) AND CI (AUTOMATED INVOICE) APPLICATIONS.

228:	INVALID DAY FOR BEGINNING DATE

DAY OF BEGINNING EFFECTIVE DATE UPDATE IS INVALID

VE4:	FDA STATUS CHANGE NOT INDICATED

THIS ERROR MESSAGE HAPPENS ONLY BETWEEN CUSTOMS ACS AND THE FDA'S SYSTEM. FDA SENDS INFORMATION VIA CUSTOMS TO THE FILER BY THE "LP" TRANSACTION. THIS ERROR OCCURS WHEN FDA HAS SENT AN "LP" THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE CURRENT FDA STATUS OF THE ENTRY. NOTHING IS PASSED TO THE FILER.

56E:	INVALID ISSUER CODE

CARGO RELEASE INPUT TRANSACTIONS (APPLICATION HI) WHICH REPORT MODE OF TRANSPORTATION 10 OR 11 MUST ALSO REPORT A STANDARD CARRIER ALPHA CODE (SCAC). THIS ELEMENT IS TRANSMITTED IN THE HA, POS 70-73. IF THE CODE REPORTED IS NOT A VALID SCAC, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. NOTE: IF THE ERROR DESCRIBED ABOVE IS CONTAINED WITHIN AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI), ERROR MESSAGE ADI WILL BE GENERATED.

7BB:	DUPLICATE ENTRY & LINE-ITEM SEQ

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE NAME AND ADDRESS (IJ) TRANSACTION WHEN THE FILER SENDS MULTIPLE I7 RECORDS WITH DIFFERENT LINE NUMBERS AND THE SAME ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE INFORMATION APPLIES TO ALL LINES. IF THE NAME AND ADDRESS INFORMATION APPLIES TO ALL LINES THE FILER SHOULD SEND JUST ONE I7 RECORD. IN 0400 AN ENTRY WAS FOUND WITH THIS ERROR WHERE AN IJ WAS ATTEMPTED SIX WEEKS AFTER THE SELECTIVITY ENTRY WAS CLOSED.

VOS:	REMOTE ENTRY/RLSE CERT MISSING

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER, SET TO OPERATIONAL STATUS FOR REMOTE LOCATION FILING, DOES NOT SEND A '1' SIGNIFYING CERTIFICATION FOR CARGO RELEASE, IN POSITION 38 OF THE 30 RECORD. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT FOR REMOTE LOCATION FILING.

8PN:	INVALID DIST/PORT FOR ENTRY

THIS DRAWBACK MODULE MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE IMPORT ENTRY DOES EXIST IN ACS, BUT THE PORT GIVEN DOES NOT MATCH THE PORT ON FILE WITH CUSTOMS. ACS DOES DO A MATCH ON THE IMPORT ENTRY AND THE PORT OF ENTRY GIVEN ON THE DISKETTE BY THE FILER. IF THE FILER USES AN IMPORT ENTRY/PORT COMBINATION THAT IS NOT VALID IN ACS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. FOR RECONCILIATION, THIS MESSAGE ALSO MEANS THAT THE IMPORT ENTRY EXISTS IN ACS, BUT THE PORT CODE GIVEN DOES NOT MATCH THE PORT ON FILE WITH CUSTOMS. (SEE R20 REC, POS 19-22). THE FILER MAY ALSO GET ERROR MESSAGES 95I, "RECON REQUIRES CONTINUOUS BOND" AND BRI, "BOND NUMBER NOT SAME", FOR THE SAME ENTRY, EVEN THOUGH THE RECON ENTRY HAS A VALID CONTINUOUS BOND AND THE IMPORT ENTRIES HAVE THE SAME BOND NUMBER. CORRECTING THE PORT OF ENTRY ON THE ENTRY THAT RECEIVED ERROR 8PN WILL USUALLY REMOVE THE OTHER TWO ERRORS, AS WELL.

VNE:	OGA/LINE RLSE INDICATOR INVALID

THE ONLY LINE RELEASE INDICATOR ALLOWED IN REC 10, POS 80 IS A "1".IF IT DOES NOT APPLY THEN THE FILER SHOULD SPACE FILL THIS POSITION.

VL8:	DBK FILER/LOCATION NOT PERMITTED

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS ONLY WHEN THERE IS A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE LICENSE PORT THE PORT OF THE DRAWBACK CLAIM.

VA3:	FORM REC TYPE INV/OUT OF SEQ

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN A FDA INTERFACE ENTRY. THE REQUIRED ORDER OF FDA LINES IS: FD01 FD02 FD03 FD04 (OPTIONAL) FD05 (OPTIONAL) IF ONE OF THE RECORDS IS OMITTED (E.G. FD01 THEN FD03) THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR.

79M:	TARIFF NBR NOT ON DATABASE

TARIFF NBR IS NOT FOUND ON EITHER THE HARMONIZED DATABASE. THE MOST COMMON CAUSE FOR THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS THAT A RECENT CHANGE TO THE TARIFF NUMBER HAS OCCURRED AND THE FILER HAS NOT RETRIEVED THE CHANGE. FILERS MUST KEEP UP WITH ALL HARMONIZED UPDATES IN ORDER TO KNOW WHICH TARIFF NUMBERS ARE VALID. IF THE TARIFF NUMBER RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE IS NO LONGER VALID, THE FILER SHOULD DO A HARMONIZED RANGE QUERY THROUGH ABI AND SHOULD EXAMINE THE DESCRIPTION RECORDS OF THE TARIFF NUMBERS RETURNED IN THE QUERY RESULTS TO DETERMINE WHICH TARIFF NUMBER IS THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE REJECTED TARIFF NUMBER.

452:	CHARGES AMOUNT INVALID

IF THERE ARE NO CHARGES, OR CHARGES ARE LESS THAN $ 1 AN "X" WILL BE LISTED AS VALUE OF CHARGES. IN CASE OF OVERLAND SHIPMENTS ARRIVING FROM MEXICO OR CANADA "X" IS ALWAYS SHOWN. IF AGGREGATE CHARGES COVER MERCHANDISE ENTERED UNDER SEVERAL ITEM NUMBERS, AND EXACT BREAKDOWN IS UNKNOWN, CHARGES SHALL BE PRORATED BY VALUE. THE ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO ABI TRANSMISSIONS. CHARGES ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT (EI) IN THE 40 REC, POS 48-57. CHARGES ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL MOT'S EXCEPT 60 (HAND-CARRIED) AND FOR ALL ENTRIES EXCEPT INFORMAL ENTRIES. AN AMOUNT OF AT LEAST ONE DOLLAR IS REQUIRED FOR THIS FIELD. ABI WILL NOT ACCEPT "X" FOR CHARGES FOR SHIPMENTS FROM EITHER MEXICO OR CANADA. LINE VALUES LESS THAN $2,000 ($250 FOR SOME TEXTILE PRODUCTS) DO NOT REQUIRE CHARGES TO BE TRANSMITTED.
