AFH:	ADD BOND AMT/TYPE INVALID; 35 REC

THE ADD BOND TYPE IN REC 35, POS 14 MUST BE 0 OR 1. THE USE OF ANY OTHER NUMERIC, SPACE OR SPECIAL CHARACTER WILL RESULT IN THIS ERROR MESSAGE.

IF BOTH AMOUNTS AGREE, BUT DO NOT EQUAL THE CALCULATED ANTIDUMPING DUTY AMOUNT, AS DETERMINED BY ACS, ERROR MESSAGE AAZ "ADD/CVD DUTY COMP MISMATCH" WILL RESULT. NOTE-- IF THE CASE BEING REPORTED HAS A DUTY RATE OF 0.00 PERCENT AND A BOND/ CASH INDICATOR OF "B", ABI WILL NOT ACCEPT THE BONDED INDICATOR IN THE 35 REC. THE FILER SHOULD TRANSMIT EITHER A BLANK IN POS 14 OR A ZERO.

THE MOST COMMON EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE THE USE OF ANY COUNTRY OTHER THAN "US" WITH TARIFF NUMBERS IN THE 98010010NN RANGE. ALSO, CHAPTER 9999 NUMBERS MAY BE SPECIFICALLY LINKED TO EITHER CANADA OR MEXICO. IF THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO THE TARIFF NUMBER IN CHAPTER 99, THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT.
