ABI Error Message

BRA:	EXPECTED R17 AMT(S) = ZEROES

IF THE RESULT OF SUBTRACTING THE R90 ORIGINAL DUTY/TAX/FREE AMOUNT FROM THE RECON DUTY/TAX/FREE AMOUNT EQUALS ZERO OR LESS THAN ZERO, THE PAYABLE AMOUNTS FOR THE CORRESPONDING FIGURE MUST ALSO EQUAL ZERO IN THE R17 RECORD. IF THE R17 RECORD IS GREATER THAN ZERO, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. AS ALL THREE AMOUNTS (DUTY, TAXES, OR FEES) APPEAR IN BOTH THE R90 AND R17 RECORDS, MAKE SURE TO CHECK ALL THREE ELEMENTS IF THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED FOR AN ENTRY.

APX:	FAX INDICATOR CANNOT CHANGE

NOTIFICATION TO CUSTOMS THAT A FACSIMILE WAS SENT, INDICATED BY 'S', MAY BE SUBMITTED BY FILER AT INITIAL FILING OF PROTEST, CLAIM OR INTERVENTION. 'N' INDICATES THAT NO FACSIMILE WAS SENT. NO VALUE SUBMITTED IN THE FAX INDICATOR WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER INITIAL FILING.

VBL:	FW 3-177: INVLD SOURCE

THE SOURCE CODE (REC FW03, POS 20-21) IS A MANDATORY CODE CONSISTING OF ONE ALPHA CHARACTER (A FOR ARTIFICIALLY PROPAGATED, C FOR CAPTIVE, O FOR OTHER, P FOR CITES OR W FOR FROM THE WILD). THE ALPHA CHARACTER MUST BE LEFT JUSTIFIED. POSITION 21 SHOULD BE SPACE FILLED SINCE IT IS RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE.

15F:	TARIFF NBR NOT LOGICALLY RELATED

THE TARIFF NUMBER IDENTIFIED IS NOT LOGICALLY RELATED TO ANOTHER TARIFF NUMBER ON THE LINE IN THE SUMMARY TRANSMISSION. THE MOST COMMON EXAMPLE IS THE ATTEMPT TO REPORT A NUMBER FROM CHAPTERS 1-97 WITH TARIFF NUMBER 98010010NN. THIS IS A TARIFF NUMBER FOR REPORTING THE RETURN OF A PRODUCT MANUFACTURED OR PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. A SECOND TARIFF NUMBER IS NOT PERMITTED WHEN REPORTING U.S. GOODS RETURNED. OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE REPORTING WATCH/CLOCK COMPONENTS NOT RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER AND REPORTING CERTAIN WEARING APPAREL ARTICLES AS PART OF AN ENSEMBLE WHEN THE DATABASE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE COMPONENT AS BELONGING TO THE ENSEMBLE.

58G:	DIST.IN 10 REC NOT = TO B REC

THE FIRST TWO CHARACTERS OF THE DISTRICT/PORT OF ENTRY CODE (THE OLD DISTRICT CODE) IN THE "10" RECORD OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY (EI) MUST AGREE WITH THE FIRST TWO CHARACTERS OF THE PROCESSING DISTRICT/PORT CODE FOR THE "B" RECORD. THIS ALSO APPLIES FOR REMOTE LOCATION FILING ENTRIES. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THE CODES THAT APPLY TO THE NEW YORK AREA (10,46,47). FOR EXAMPLE, A "B" RECORD OF 4601 CAN BE TRANSMITTED WITH ENTRY SUMMARIES WITH A 10 RECORD PORT OF 4701, 1001, AS WELL AS 4601.

VGX:	INVALID FORMAT

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE FDA INTERFACE WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO SEND A QUERY OR AN ADD REQUEST FOR AN FDA ESTABLISHMENT NUMBER (FEI) IN THE PP TRANSACTION AND THE FORMAT OF THEIR QUERY IS INCORRECT. THIS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS BUT USUALLY INVOLVES TRYING TO FIT A FOREIGN ADDRESS INTO FIELDS THAT ONLY ACCEPT A US ADDRESS. IN MOST CASES, IT INVOLVES A PROGRAMMING PROBLEM IN THE FILERS SOFTWARE. PROPER FORMAT FOR THE PP TRANSACTION IS SHOWN ON PAGES OGQ 14-20 OF THE CATAIR.

552:	ENTRY DELETE NOT ALLOWED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY DELETE INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF THE FILER HAS PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED AN ENTRY SUMMARY THAT WAS REJECTED, AND THE SUMMARY IN QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN PAID IN OR OTHERWISE FILED WITH A LOCAL CUSTOMS OFFICE, THE ABI REJECT WILL ERASE PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED ABI ENTRY SUMMARY DATA. IN SUCH A CASE, THE TRANSMISSION OF AN ENTRY SUMMARY DELETE TRANSACTION (ACTION CODE "D" IN POS 3 OF THE 10 REC) WILL GENERATE THIS ERROR MESSAGE.

AD2:	SUB INVALID WITHOUT HOUSE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION HI). IF A SUB-HOUSE BILL IS TRANSMITTED IN THE HA REC, POS 39-50, A HOUSE BILL IS REQUIRED TO BE TRANSMITTED IN POS 27-38.

2B1:	MODE OF TRANSPORTATION REQUIRED

THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION (MOT) IS REQUIRED TO BE SHOWN IN ALL FORMAL ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTIONS. THE MOT IS SENT IN THE 20 REC, POS 28-29. IF THE MOT IS LEFT BLANK, THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED. FOR INFORMAL ENTRIES AND FOR CARGO RELEASE INPUT TRANSACTIONS (APPLICATION IDENTIFIER HI), SEE ERROR MESSAGE 630.

29H:	INVALID DIST/PORT/BROKER

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER SENDS A DISTRICT/PORT/FILER COMBINATION IN THE 10 RECORD OF AN ENTRY SUMMARY EI TRANSACTION, AN H1 RECORD FOR AN HI TRANSACTION OR AN 01 RECORD OF A HN TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE FILER PROFILE DATABASE.

AST:	MERCHANDISE DESC. INCOMPLETE

A ONE-LINE STATEMENT OF THE MERCHANDISE DESCRIPTION IS REQUIRED. THE P71 RECORD CANNOT BE BLANK.

EJ2:	PACKAGING UNITS MUST BE UNIQUE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION CI). THE C06 RECORD PERMITS THE REPORTING OF THE SHIPPING UNIT IDENTIFICATION (USUALLY A CONTAINER NUMBER). IF THE INVOICE CONTAINS MULTIPLE C06 RECORDS, THE SHIPPING UNIT IDENTIFIER IN EACH C06 RECORD MUST BE UNIQUE. THE SAME UNIQUENESS CRITERIA APPLIES TO PACKAGING UNIT IDENTIFIERS TRANSMITTED IN THE C07 RECORD.

VA8:	FW 3-177: INVLD COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

THE FISH AND WILDLIFE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (FW01, POS 73-74) CANNOT BE BLANK. IT MUST BE A VALID ISO CODE. THE FWS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN DOES NOT HAVE TO MATCH THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN FOR CUSTOMS PURPOSES. I.E. IF SNAKESKIN FROM AUSTRALIA WAS USED AS TRIM IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FOOTWARE FROM ITALY, THE ISO CODE IN THE HI APPLICATION (RECORD H5, POS 6-7) OR THE EI APPLICATION (RECORD 40, POS 6-7) WOULD BE IT AND THE ISO CODE IN THE FW01 RECORD, POS 73-74, WOULD BE AU.

AR6:	NOTIFY SUB. DATA INCOMPLETE

NOTIFY SUBSTITUTE DATA INCOMPLETE.

BRI:	BOND NUMBER NOT SAME

THE BOND NUMBER ON ALL IMPORT ENTRIES ASSOCIATED WITH A GIVEN RECONCILIATION SUMMARY (TYPE '09' ENTRY) MUST BE THE SAME. THE BOND MUST BE AN ACTIVITY CODE '1' OR '1A1' BOND. NOTE: IF THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ERROR 8PN, THIS MESSAGE MAY NOT BE RELEVANT TO THE ENTRY IN QUESTION. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE ERRS 8PN. NOTE: THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO OCCUR IF MESSAGE 0AA (ENTRY NOT FOUND- MEANING THAT THE ENTRY IN THE IDENTIFIED R20 RECORD IS NOT IN ACS) IS GENERATED. MESSAGE 95I WILL USUALLY OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH MESSAGE 0AA, AS WELL.

AD7:	SUPPLIER/MFG INVALID

PLEASE REFER TO CUSTOMS DIRECTIVE 3500-13, DATED NOVEMBER 24, 1987 FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ON DETERMINING A VALID MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER CODE.

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.

VNH:	FD 701: BASE UNIT MUST BE LAST

IN THE FDA INTERFACE, UP TO SIX QUANTITIES AND UNITS OF MEASURE (UOM) CAN BE TRANSMITTED. FIVE QUANTITIES/UOM CAN BE SENT IN REC FD02, POS 5-18, 19-32, 33-46, 47-60 AND 61-74 (CATAIR, PAGE OGA-30). THE SIXTH, IF APPLICABLE, IS SENT IN REC FD04, POS 5-18 (CATAIR, PAGE OGA-35). IF QUANTITIES/UOM'S ARE SENT THEN AT LEAST ONE OF THEM MUST BE A "BASE UNIT" AND IF MORE THAN ONE IS SENT THE BASE UNIT MUST BE IN THE LAST POSITION. IF, FOR EXAMPLE, THREE QUANTITIES/UOM'S ARE SENT THE BASE QUANTITY MUST BE IN THE "UNIT 3 QUANTITY AND MEASURE BLOCK (REC FD01, POS 33-46). IF ONLY ONE QUANTITY/UOM IS SENT IT MUST BE A BASE UNIT AND SENT IN THE UNIT 1 QUANTITY AND MEASURE BLOCK (REC FD01, POS 1-18). FDA BASE UNITS ARE SHOWN IN THE CATAIR, PAGES OGA-31.

56F:	ISSUER CODE REQUIRED

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 ISSUER CODE IS OMITTED (ALL BLANKS IN THE FIELD), THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. NOTE: IF THE ERROR DESCRIBED ABOVE IS CONTAINED WITHIN AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI), ERROR MESSAGE ADJ WILL BE GENERATED. AS OF MARCH 2000, THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS NOW SENT IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT THAT OMITS THE ISSUER CODE IN THE 22 REC, POS 70-73.

VMB:	HLO: SORT SEQUENCE NUMBER INVALID

VDD:	MPF SURCHARGE REQUIRED

THIS IS AN ENTRY LEVEL USER FEE. THIS $3.00 FEE IS REPORTED IN THE 34 AND 89 RECORDS USING COLLECTION CLASS CODE "500". THE FEE AMOUNT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE 90 RECORD FOR THE TOTAL FEES DUE. THE MPF SURCHARGE IS DUE AND PAYABLE FOR EACH MANUAL ENTRY OR RELEASE UNLESS THE ENTRY OR RELEASE IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF EXEMPT PRODUCTS. MANUAL ENTRIES ARE DEFINED AS THOSE FILED BY FILERS WHO ARE NOT CERTIFIED BY CUSTOMS FOR ABI CARGO SELECTIVITY (CERTIFICATION IN ONLY ONE PORT FULFILLS THE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL PORTS). THE ONE EXCEPTION IS THE NORTHERN BORDER. FOR FILERS WHO ARE ONLY LOCATED ON THE NORTHERN LAND BORDER, MANUAL ENTRIES ARE DEFINED AS THOSE FILED BY FILERS WHO ARE NOT CERTIFIED BY CUSTOMS FOR ABI ENTRY SUMMARY. MAINLY TESTING AND NEWLY OPERATIONAL ABI FILERS RECEIVE THIS ERROR.
