NOTE: IF DIGITS ARE OMITTED FROM AN OCEAN MASTER IN BOND NUMBER, ERROR MESSAGE 4A3, INVALID IN-BOND NUMBER, WILL BE GENERATED.

EIN:	INVALID TERMS OF DELIVERY CODE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). TERMS OF DELIVERY ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE C13 REC, POS 4-6.VALID TERMS OF DELIVERY CODES ARE LISTED ON PAGE AII-23 OF THE CATAIR. THE USE OF ANY OTHER CODE, OR A BLANK FIELD, IN THIS DATA ELEMENT WILL GENERATE THIS ERROR MESSAGE. ND ADDRESS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO BE TRANSMITTED IN THE C09-C11 RECORDS. IF THE NAME ELEMENT IN THE C09 REC, POS 4-38, IS LEFT BLANK, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

27Q:	*CENSUS* MAXIMUM CHARGES EXCEEDED

THE AGGREGATE CHARGES FOR THE LINE EXCEEDS 5,000,000 FOR VESSEL OR 1,000,000 FOR AIR. THIS MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN THE CRITERIA MUST BE DIFFERENT FOR ACS/ABI THAN THE STATISTICAL EDITS AT CENSUS.

58H:	QUOTA NOT PERMITTED ON STATEMENTS

OT PERMITTED ON STATEMENTS

VH3:	FD 701 : ACTUAL SHPR ID REQUIRED

THERE ARE FIVE REQUIRED DATA ELEMENTS IN THE FDA INTERFACE. ONE IS THE FDA ACTUAL SHIPPER. IT IS REQUIRED TO BE SHOWN IN THE REC FD01, POS 63-77 (SEE CATAIR, PAGE OGA-28).THIS REJECT OCCURS WHEN NO MID IS TRANSMITTED.

15D:	TARIFF NUMBER OUT OF SEQUENCE

THE REJECTED TARIFF NUMBER IS NOT IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE WHEN COMPARED TO THE OTHER TARIFF NUMBERS REPORTED FOR THIS LINE ON THE ENTRY. IF THE REJECTED LINE INVOLVES CHARPER 98 OR 99 TARIFF NUMBERS, THOSE NUMBERS ARE REPORTED BEFORE THE CHAPTER 1-97 NUMBERS. FOR WATCHES, THE TARIFF NUMBERS SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPORTED FOR THE MOVEMENT/ CASE/BATTERY/BAND IN THAT ORDER. IN MOST CASES, THE TARIFF NUMBERS WILL BE IN NUMBERICAL ORDER, BUT FOR TARIFF NUMBER 9102128010 (MOVEMENT/CASE), 9102128020 (BATTERY) AND 9102124000 (BAND), THE NUMBERS MUST BE REPORTED IN THE ORDER SHOWN HERE.

89J:	TOT COMP FEE NOT = TOTAL EST

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). LINE ITEM FEES ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE 62 RECORD. THE FEE AMOUNTS TRANSMITTED ARE COMPARED TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS AS CALCULATED BY ABI. IF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ESTIMATED (TRANSMITTED) FEE AND THE CALCULATED FEE IS $3.00 OR LESS (PLUS OR MINUS), THE LINE ITEM FEE AMOUNT WILL BE ACCEPTED. THE AGGREGATE TOTAL OF ALL FEES IS SENT IN THE 90 REC, POS 49-59. THIS RECORD SUMMARIZES THE FEE TOTALS AND HAS THE SAME $3.00/FEE FLUCTUATION LIMIT. THEREFORE, IF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL FEES REPORTED IN THE 90 RECORD VARIES BY MORE THAN $3.00 PER FEE, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED (THUS, AN ENTRY WITH TWO FEES, REGARDLESS OF TYPE OF FEE, CAN HAVE A 90 RECORD TOTAL THAT IS UP TO $6.00 PLUS OR MINUS FROM THE ABI CALCULATED FEE. IF THE ENTRY HAD 3 FEES, THE FLUCTUATION ALLOWED IS UP TO $9.00, ETC.).

VLF:	GREATER THAN 9,999 ITEMS SENT

THE TOTAL OF ALL IMPORT ENTRY AND CM RECORDS IN A DRAWBACK TRANSACTION CANNOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM OF 9,999. THAT NUMBER IS THE MAXIMUM ACS CAN HANDLE. FOR RECONCILAITION, THIS MEANS THAT MORE THAN 9,999 IMPORT ENTRY ASSOCIATION RECORDS WERE TRANSMITTED.

VAW:	PRELIMINARY STMT ALREADY PRODUCED

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER TRANSMITS AN ENTRY SUMMARY WITH A PAYMENT DUE DATE THAT IS THE SAME DATE AS THE CALENDAR DATE OF THE STATEMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE FILER SENDS, ON DECEMBER 28, AN ENTRY SUMMARY WITH A PAYMENT DUE OF DECEMBER 28, THIS MESSSAGE WILL RESULT, BECAUSE ALL THE PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS FOR DECEMBER 28 WILL HAVE BEEN PRODUCED PRIOR TO THE FILER TRANSMITTING HIS DATA. PAYMENT DUE DATES MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE CALENDAR DAY IN THE FUTURE WHEN COMPARED TO THE TRANSMISSION DATE. THIS MESSAGE ALSO OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. IT HAS OCCURRED WHEN A FILER SENT A PAYMENT INDICATOR OF '2' '3' OR '5' IN POSITION 59 OF THE D30 RECORD AND DID NOT SEND AT LEAST ONE D20 RECORD. THIS MESSAGE ALSO OCCURS FOR RECONCILIATION ('RA' TRANSACTION) IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A RECON SUMMARY WITH A PAYMENT DUE DATE AFTER STATEMENT GENERATION (SEE FIRST PARAGRAPH ABOVE).

1CL:	NOT AN ACTIVE MANUFACTURER ID

MANUFACTURER I.D. RECORD HAS A STATUS OF INACTIVE (I), REASSIGNED (R), OR DELETED (D).

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.

VLS:	DRAWBACK INSPECTION IND INVALID

THIS ERROR MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE FILER HAS USED A CODE OF OTHER THAN 'Y' ("YES") OR 'N' ("NO") FOR WHETHER THIS IS AN INSPECTION CLAIM. THE FILER MUST USE EITHER 'Y' OR 'N' VIA DISKETTE OR SPACE ("NO") OR '1' ("YES") FOR ABI.

38N:	RESTRICTED COUNTRY

THE IMPORT RESTRICTION INDICATOR FOR THIS COUNTRY IS "1" ON THE COUNTRY CODE FILE. THIS INDICATES THAT THIS COUNTRY IS RESTRICTED FROM IMPORTING TO THE U.S. OR THAT THE COUNTRY'S CODE HAS BEEN RENDERED INACTIVE OR INVALID. SINCE THERE IS NO INACTIVE/INVALID CODE IN THE COUNTRY CODE FILE, THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT USE IS BY MAKING THE COUNTRY "RESTRICTED". AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE COUNTRY CODE 'SQ' FOR SLOVAKIA. EFFECTIVE 03/01/93, THIS COUNTRY CODE WAS NO LONGER VALID. IT CHANGED TO 'SK'. A FILER MIGHT BE MISLED BY THE "RESTRICTED" INDICATOR THEY RECEIVE BACK ON A QUERY OR BY THIS MESSAGE WHEN TRANSMITTING AN ENTRY AND RECEIVING A REJECT. THIS LATTER TYPE OF COUNTRY CODE IS "INVALID" RATHER THAN RESTRICTED.

27J:	*CENSUS* OR-AGR CHARGES/VALUE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED ON ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACATIONS WHEN THE LINE ITEM CHARGES (40 REC, POS 48-57) DIVIDED BY THE LINE ITEM VALUE (40 REC, POS 8-17) EXCEED A STATED PERCENTAGE. IF THE RATIO BETWEEN THE CHARGES AND VALUE EXCEEDS THE PERCENTAGE SHOWN ON TARIFF/CENSUS DATABASE BY MORE THAN 300 PERCENT, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. (EXAMPLE: VALUE IS $400 FOR TARIFF 8541402000 AND THE CHARGES ARE $100. THIS IS A 25% RATIO. THE RECORD FOR THE TARIFF NUMBER SHOWS 7% AS THE UPPER LIMIT. 7% OF $400 IS $28. 300% OF THIS FIGURE WOULD BE $84. THEREFORE, CHARGES FROM $1 TO $84 WOULD NOT GENERATE THIS WARNING MESSAGE, BUT CHARGES OF $85 OR HIGHER WOULD.) FOR SHIPMENTS BY AIR, THE CHARGES IS SOMETIMES COMPARED TO THE GROSS WEIGHT (40 REC, POS18-27) AND THIS MESSAGE COULD BE GENERATED EVEN IN A CASE WHERE THE CHARGES/VALUE RATIO WAS BELOW 300% OF THE VALUE.

VBR:	OGA DATA IGNORED

THIS MESSAGE IS NOT AN ERROR MESSAGE BUT RATHER AN INFORMATIONAL WARNING MESSAGE. IT OCCURS WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO CERTIFY A SUMMARY WHICH HAS OGA INFORMATION WHEN CARGO SELECTIVITY HAS ALREADY BEEN PROCESSED PREVIOUSLY. IF THE FILER IS RECERTIFYING INADVERTENTLY, THE WARNING MESSAGE MAY BE IGNORED. IF THE FILER IS CHANGING SUMMARY DATA THAT AFFECTS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FDA DATA, THE FILER SHOULD CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE CUSTOMS OFFICE TO REQUEST A DELETE OF SELECTIVITY. THE APPROPRIATE CUSTOMS OFFICE WILL APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST. IF APPROVED, THE FILER SHOULD RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY AND CERTIFY FOR CARGO.

SOME COMMON EXAMPLES ARE: -- 98020040, 50, 60, OR 80 WITHOUT A SECOND TARIFF NUMBER WHICH DESCRIBES THE ARTICLE BEING REPAIRED, ALTERED,OR ASSEMBLED. -- SOME WEARING APPAREL ENSEMBLES WHICH REQUIRE THE ACTUAL ARTICLE OF CLOTHING IN ADDITION TO THE ENSEMBLE HTS. -- WATCHES/CLOCKS, IN WHICH THE MOVEMENT, CASE, BAND, AND BATTERY MAY BE REQUIRED. -- TIB TARIFF NUMBERS IN CHAPTER 9813, WHICH REQUIRE THE IMPORTED ARTICLE'S TARIFF NUMBER.

AFL:	ADD TOTAL AMT INVALID

THE TOTAL ADD AMOUNT IN THE 90 REC, POS 38-48 DOES NOT EQUAL THE SUM OF THE BONDED ADD DUTY AND THE PAYABLE ADD DUTY TRANSMITTED IN THE 35 RECORD, POS 3-13 AND 15-25 RESPECTIVELY.
