ABI Error Message

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.

29E:	"B" RECORD MISSING OR INVALID

THIS MESSAGE INDICATES THAT THE "B" RECORD IS MISSING IN AN A-Z BATCH. IN MOST CASES, THE ERROR MESSAGE NUMBER IS NOT DISPLAYED IN THE ABI OUTPUT WHEN THIS ERROR OCCURS.

800:	NO MATCH FOR EST/COMP DUTIES

THIS MESSAGE CAN HAVE MULTIPLE CAUSES. THE MOST COMMON ONES ARE: -- USING PRIOR YEAR'S TARIFF RATES; OR RATES IN EFFECT BEFORE A HARMONIZED UPDATE CHANGED THE RATES. -- TRANSMITTING ZERO DUTY WITHOUT INCLUDING THE APPROPRIATE SPECIAL PROGRAMS INDICATOR (SPI) OR SENDING DUTY WITH AN ACCOMPANYING DUTY-FREE SPI. -- APPLYING AN AD VALOREM DUTY RATE AS THOUGH IT WAS A SPECIFIC RATE. -- INCORRECTLY CALCULATING AN AD VALOREM EQUIVALENT FOR CHAPTER 9802 IMPORTATIONS. -- MAKING A CALCULATION ERROR THAT AMOUNTS TO MORE THAN A $3 DIFFERENCE ON A GIVEN TARIFF LINE ON THE SUMMARY. -- USING AN INTRANSIT (I.T.) NUMBER AND DATE FROM A PRIOR YEAR WITH DUTY RATES FROM THE CURRENT YEAR.

097:	ENTRY NBR ON HISTORY FILE

THE ENTRY NUMBER INPUT IS IN THE HISTORY FILE IN ABBREVIATED FORMAT.

VLE:	INVALID NAFTA NET COST CLAIM

THE NAFTA NET COST CLAIM INDICATOR IS SENT IN THE EI TRANSACTION, RECORD 40, POSITION 79. IT CAN BE EITHER A 'Y' FOR "YES" OR SPACE FILLED IF IT DOES NOT APPLY. TO QUALIFY FOR NAFTA THE REGIONAL VALUE CONTENT (RVC) MUST BE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE. THE VALUE CAN EITHER BE TRANSACTION VALUE OR NET COST METHOD. IF THE LATTER, THIS CLAIM IS MADE. IF THE CLAIM IS MADE THERE MUST BE A VALID SPI OF CA, MX, B# OR C# IN POSITIONS 78-79 OF THE EI 50 RECORD. SEE ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 94-0238 AND 94-0840.

AD9:	OVERLAPPING INVOICE LINE RANGE

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN AN EI 42 RECORD IS SENT WITH OVERLAPPING INVOICE LINE RANGES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF INVOICE A IS SENT WITH A BEGINNING AND ENDING RANGE 0001-0004 AND INVOICE B HAS A BEGINNING AND ENDING RANGE OF 0004-0008, THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR BECAUSE '0004' OVERLAP.

12O:	INVALID FIRMS CODE

THE FIRMS CODE MUST BE 4 ALPHA NUMERIC CHARACTERS IN LENGTH.

40K:	SPI INVALID FOR EXP COUNTRY

SPECIAL PROGRAM INDICATORS, LISTED IN THE CATAIR ON PAGES ENS-48 AND 49 MAY NOT BE VALID FOR ALL PROGRAMS FOR ALL COUNTRIES. FOR EXAMPLE, ECUADOR IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE ANDEAN PREFERENCE PROGRAM (SPI "J"), BUT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE CARRIBEAN PREFERENCE PROGRAM (SPI "E"). THEREFORE, AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION THAT USED CODE "E" WITH ISO CODE "EC" AS THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT WOULD RECEIVE THIS ERROR MESSAGE.

APS:	HARDCOPY INDICATOR INVALID

NOTIFICATION TO CUSTOMS THAT HARDCOPY MATERIALS HAVE BEEN SENT, INDICATED BY 'S', MAY BE SUBMITTED BY FILER AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO ADJUDICATION OF PROTEST OR CLAIM BY CUSTOMS. 'N' INDICATES THAT HARDCOPY MATERIALS DO NOT APPLY. ONCE TO 'S' THE HARDCOPY INDICATOR CAN NOT BE UN-SET TO 'N'. THE VALUE SUBMITTED HARDCOPY INDICATOR CANNOT BE UN-SET TO 'N'. THE VALUE SUBMITTED IN THE HARDCOPY INDICATOR IS NOT 'S' OR 'N'.

VOI:	APPLICATION NOT REMOTE

CURRENTLY (7/98), THE ONLY ABI APPLICATION ELIGIBLE FOR REMOTE IS THE 'EI' APPLICATION. IF REMOTE INFORMATION IS SENT IN THE 'B' RECORD OF ANY OTHER APPLICATION, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

79S:	MID NOT ON FILE-LINE ITEM >?<

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF ONE OR MORE CUSTOMS LINES (40 RECORD) HAVE AN ASSOCIATED MID (60 REC, POS 43-57) THAT IS NOT REFLECTED ON THE SELECTIVITY FILE, THAT LINE(S) WILL BE IDENTIFIED IN THIS OUTPUT MESSAGE. THIS IS NOT A REJECT CONDITION BUT WILL PRECLUDE A PAPERLESS CARGO RELEASE FOR THE ENTRY.

44E:	SAMPLE IND.N/ALLOWED FOR ENT TYP

THE SAMPLE INDICATOR ('X') IS SENT IN RECORD 30, POSITION 39. IT IS ALLOWED ONLY FOR INFORMAL ENTRY TYPES 11 OR 12.

VBW:	DT HS7: WARN - TIRE BRAND MISSING

"8VH:

QUANTITY & UNITS REQUIRED FOR ADD

THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A BILL OF LADING UPDATE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION LN). IF THE FILER TRANSMITS AN L3 RECORD, AT A MINIMUM, THE BILL OF LADING (OR AIR WAYBILL) NUMBER, THE MANIFESTED QUANTITY AND MANIFESTED UNIT OF MEASURE MUST BE TRANSMITTED. IF THE QUANTITY AND UNIT OF MEASURE ARE NOT TRANSMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. NOTE: IF THE BILL NUMBER AND UNITS OF MEASURE ARE SENT, BUT THE QUANTITY IS OMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL STILL BE GENERATED.

VHS:	DT HS7: MODEL REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A DOT INTERFACE RECORD (DT02). IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A DT02 RECORD WITH THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION DATA, A MODEL NAME IS REQUIRED IN POS 20-34 OF THE DT02 RECORD. IF THE MODEL NAME IS LEFT BLANK, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

ARI:	PROTESTANT ID NBR REQUIRED

A VALID IRS OR CUSTOMS ASSIGNED ID NUMBER PRESENT ON THE CUSTOMS IMPORTER DATA BASE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PROTEST TYPES EXCEPT F=FOREIGN AND O=OTHERS. THESE REQUIRE NUMBERS WHICH WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT VALIDATION.

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.

FILERS WHO USE APPLICATION HI TO TRANSMIT CARGO RELEASE DATA MAY USE BOND TYPE CODE "8" (CONTINUOUS BOND) OR "9" (SINGLE TRANSACTION BOND). BOND TYPES ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE H1 REC, POS 40. IF BOND TYPE 9 IS ELECTED, THE FILER IS REQUIRED TO TRANSMIT A SURETY CODE (H1 REC, POS 71-73). IF THE SURETY CODE TRANSMITTED IS IN "REVOKED" STATUS, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

APO:	ACCEL. DISP. IND. INVAL.

A REQUEST FOR ACCELERATED DISPOSITION, INDICATED BY 'R', MAY BE SUBMITTED FOR TYPE 514 PROTESTS WHEN 90 DAYS FROM INITIAL FILING HAVE ELAPSED AND NO CUSTOMS DECISION HAS BEEN RENDERED. THE VALUE SUBMITTED IN THE ACCELERATED DISPOSITION FIELD IS NOT 'R'.

79K:	TARIFF NBR NOT NOW ACTIVE

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN CARGO SELECTIVITY (HI, HN) TRANSMISSIONS WHEN A FILER SENDS A TARIFF NUMBER THAT, BASED ON THE ESTIMATED DATE OF ARRIVAL SENT, IS NOT AN ACTIVE TARIFF NUMBER IN THE HARMONIZED DATA BASE. IT IS FOLLOWED WITH MESSAGE NUMBER 42F "DATA ADDED WITH WARNINGS". THE TRANSACTION IS NOT REJECTED. IT IS A WARNING TO THE FILER THAT THEY NEED TO SEND A VALID TARIFF NUMBER FOR THE DATE OF ENTRY IN THEIR ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION. NOTE: THIS MESSAGE ALSO IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO ENTRY SUMMARY (EI) TRANSACTIONS IF THE TARIFF NUMBER IS: FEWER THAN 10 DIGITS LONG OR ACTIVE ON THE TARIFF FILE AS OF THE DATE OF THE INBOND MOVMEMENT, BUT NOT ACTIVE AS OF THE ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE IN THE 10 RECORD.

51D:	INFORMAL ENTRY IS NOT PERMITTED

SINCE MARCH OF 1994 THE REQUIREMENT FOR MAKING FORMAL ENTRY ON A GIVEN TARIFF NUMBER HAS BEEN INDICATED IN THE ON-LINE HARMONIZED TARIFF RECORD. THE FIELD CONTAINING THIS INFORMATION IS CALLED "MIS-REQ". THERE ARE (3) VALID VALUES FOR THIS FIELD: "0" = FORMAL ENTRY REQUIRED, REGARDLESS OF VALUE "2" = FORMAL ENTRY REQUIRED FOR VALUE GREATER THAN $250 "Z" = TARIFF NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DUTY-FREE TREATMENT UNDER 'FREELY ASSOCIATED STATES' (FAS) PROGRAM. IF A RECORD CONTAINS A "0" AND "2" THE "0" CONDITION APPLIES. THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF A TARIFF NUMBER ON THE ENTRY IS CODED "0" AND THE ENTRY TYPE IS INFORMAL. IF THE TARIFF NUMBER IS CODED "2", ERROR MESSAGE Z29 WILL APPLY.

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.
