ABI Error Message

4F7:	TARIFF NUMBER INVALID

TARIFF NUMBER MUST BE IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT: ABI - 10 DIGITS, CHECK DIGIT IS UNNECESSARY NON- ABI - 10 DIGITS, AND NUMERIC CHECK DIGIT FROM THE ABOVE, OR IF THE FIELD CONTAINS ALPHABETIC CHARACTERS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE PROVIDED.

99F:	AG LIC/VISA-CAT-TEX DATE CONFLICT

AN AGRICULTURE LICENSE CANNOT BE ENTERED IF A VISA NUMBER AND/OR A CATEGORY NUMBER AND/OR A TEXTILE DATE IS ENTERED AND VISE VERSA.

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.

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).

EI3:	UNIT PRICE REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). THE C33 RECORD PROVIDES FOR PRICE DATA FOR THE LINE OF THE INVOICE IN QUESTION. POS 22-36 IS PROVIDED TO REPORT THE UNIT PRICE OF THE ARTICLE BEING REPORTED. THIS FIELD CANNOT BE ZERO (UNLESS THE PAYMENT TERMS IN THE C01 RECORD EQUALS "15" -NO CHARGE) OR THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

370:	ENTRY BELONGS TO ANOTHER DD/PP

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER SENDS AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION FOR AN ENTRY THAT WAS RELEASED (OR AT LEAST ACCEPTED) AT ANOTHER PORT. THE SELECTIVITY RECORD WILL SHOW THE PORT CODE ESTABLISHED BY THE FILER'S FIRST SUCCESSFUL ABI TRANSMISSION. IF THE FILER'S SUMMARY INPUT PORT CODE (10 REC, POS 4-7) DOES NOT MATCH THE PORT CODE ON THE SELECTIVITY RECORD, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. THIS ERROR WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A CARGO RELEASE TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT MATCH THE PORT CODE IN THE H1 REC, POS 4-7, TO THE PORT CODE SHOWN ON THE ENTRY MASTER FILE RECORD FROM THE FILER'S PRIOR TRANSMISSION. IF THE SELECTIVITY RECORD PORT CODE IS INCORRECT, THE FILER SHOULD FOLLOW LOCAL PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY WITH THE CORRECT PORT CODE ONCE THE SELECTIVITY RECORD HAS BEEN CHANGED. IF THERE IS AN ENTRY SUMMARY ON FILE, AND STILL IN ABI STATUS, THE FILER MAY DELETE THE SUMMARY AND RETRANSMIT IT WITH THE CORRECT PORT CODE.

591:	LINE ITEMS INVALID FOR ENTRY TYPE

THIS MESSAGE WILL RARELY BE OBSERVED ON ABI TRANSMISSIONS UNLESS THE FILER MANAGES TO TRANSMIT AN ENTRY TYPE IN THE EI APPLICATION (10 REC, POS 71-72) THAT DOES NOT PERMIT THE REPORTING OF LINE ITEM DETAILS (40-62 RECORDS). USUALLY, THE ENTRY TYPE WILL BE THE ERROR (SUCH AS REPORTING A NON-EXISTENT ENTRY TYPE). MOST AUTOMATED SYSTEMS WILL NOT ALLOW FILERS TO USE ENTRY TYPES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY USED FOR IMPORT TRANSACTIONS. THUS, THIS MESSAGE WILL RARELY SURFACE.

DCJ:	FUTURE DATE INVALID

IN THE DRAWBACK MODULE THIS ERROR MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE DATE GIVEN IS GREATER THAN THE SYSTEM DATE (TODAY'S DATE). SINCE THE CANADIAN IMPORT WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE ALREADY FILED, THIS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE.

Z29:	HTS REQUIRES FORMAL ENTRY

CERTAIN HTS NUMBERS WITH A VALUE GREATER THAN $250.00 REQUIRES A FORMAL ENTRY TYPE. APPENDIX K OF THE CATAIR (AS WELL AS PERIODIC ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES) LIST THE TARIFF NUMBERS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE $250 LIMITATION. ON THE TARIFF FILE, THESE TARIFF NUMBERS ARE CODED "MIS-REQ" WITH A VALUE OF "2". IF AN INFORMAL ENTRY SUMMARY IS TRANSMITTED TO ABI WITH A VALUE OVER $250 ON A LINE CONTAINING A TYPE "2" TARIFF NUMBER, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. NOTE: IF THE HSAS FILE SHOWS MIS-REQ WITH BOTH A "0" AND A "2", THE "0" CONDITION APPLIES AND ERROR MESSAGE 51D WILL BE GENERATED RATHER THAN THIS ERROR MESSAGE. IMPORT SPECIALIST NOTE: SEE ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE @

LU4:	INVALID LUMBER PERMIT NUMBER

IF THE ABI FILER REPORTS A LUMBER PERMIT TYPE (40 REC, POS 70-72), A NINE- POSITION NUMERIC LUMBER PERMIT NUMBER IS REQUIRED IN THE 51 REC, POS 57-65. IF THE PERMIT NUMBER IS OMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

2G0:	DUPLICATE IT/AWB/BL NUMBER

THIS MESSAGE APPLIES TO ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT (TRANSACTION ID = EI). THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER SENDS MORE THAN ONE IT, AIRWAY BILL OR BILL OF LADING AND TWO OR MORE ARE DUPLICATES AND NOT DIFFERENTIATED BY A DIFFERENT B/L OR HOUSE BILL (IN THE CASE OF AN IT) OR DIFFERENT HOUSE OR SUBHOUSE BILL (IN THE CASE OF A AWB OR B/L). THE MOST COMMON CAUSE IS WHEN A FILER SENDS THE SAME BILL OF LADING/HOUSE BILL AND TRIES TO DIFFERENTIATE BY SENDING DIFFERENT QUANTITIES.

029:	INVALID FOREIGN PORT CODE

THE FOREIGN PORT CODE (AKA SCHEDULE K) NUMBER HAS BEEN OMITTED, IS IN IMPROPER FORMAT OR NOT ON THE FOREIGN PORT CODE FILE. CHECK THE RFDL FILE USING THE THREE DIGIT COUNTRY CODE FOUND IN THE RFJL FILE. THE PROPER FORMAT IS A FIVE-DIGIT NUMERIC. IF MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS 12, THEN THE FOREIGN PORT CODE MUST BE FROM A PORT IN EITHER MEXICO OR CANADA.

RBU:	RECON FILER NOT ON FILE

THIS MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE FILER CODE GIVEN ON THE RECONCILIATION DOES NOT EXIST IN ACS.

VA2:	UNKNOWN AGY IN 'OA' DECLARATION

THE OA DECLARATION IS A RECORD IN AN OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY DATA SET IN AN AUTOMATED TRANSACTION. IT IS THE RECORD WHERE A FILER CAN "DISCLAIM" A TARIFF NUMBER FROM OGA DATA. AS OF 5/99 THE PERMITTED OTHER AGENCIES ARE FDA (FD0), FWS (FW0), DOT (DT0) AND FCC (FC0). IN AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION (EI) THE OA RECORD FOLLOWS THE 50 RECORD. IN A CARGO SELECTIVITY TRANSACTION (HI) THE OA RECORD FOLLOWS THE H5 RECORD (FDA, FWS AND DOT). IN A BORDER CARGO SELECTIVITY TRANSACTION (HN) THE OA RECORD FOLLOWS THE 02 RECORD (FDA,FWS,DOT). THE OGA DISCLAIMER IS SENT IN POSITIONS 5-7 OF THE OA RECORD. SUBSEQUENT DISCLAIMERS ARE SENT IN POSITIONS 8-10, 11-13, 14-16 AND 17-19, WHEN APPLICABLE . THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE OTHER AGENCY SENT IN POSITIONS 5-6 (OR 8-9, 11-12, 14-15, 17-18) IS NOT A VALID OGA INTERFACE AGENCY.

56G:	ISSUER CODE/MOT CONFLICT

IN THE CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION, APPLICATION HI, THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION (H1 REC, POS 32-33) MUST AGREE WITH THE CODE REPRESENTING THE IMPORTING CARRIER. (H1 REC, POS 70-73). FOR AIR SHIPMENTS USING MOT 40, THE ISSUER CODE IS NOT USED AND MUST BE BLANK. IF THE ISSUER CODE FIELD IS NOT BLANK, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. FOR MOT 20 OR 30, THE ISSUER CODE FIELD IS IGNORED.

Q17:	DSI FILE MISSING STATEMENT IMPORTER

THE STATEMENT NUMBER IN THE 'QT' RECORD IS IDENTIFIED AS AN IMPORTER STATEMENT WITH A SPECIFIC IMPORTER NUMBER; THE PAYOR UNIT NUMBER PROVIDED IN THE 'QT' RECORD IS NOT ASSIGNED TO THAT IMPORTER ON THE DATA FILE.

RBL:	RECON EXISTS - REPLACE OR DELETE

THE RECON ALREADY EXISTS ON CUSTOMS FILE AND THE FILER HAS ATTEMPTED AN 'A' TRANSACTION. FILER MUST PERFORM AN 'R' IF THE RECON IS ALREADY IN CUSTOMS STATUS, OR IS IN REJECTED STATUS. IF THE RECON ENTRY IS STILL IN ABI STATUS, THE FILER MAY TRANSMIT A 'D' TO DELETE THE RECON. NOTE: IF THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS RECEIVED, OFTEN THE FILER WILL ALSO RECEIVE ERROR MESSAGE BRH 'OTHER RECON ALREADY ON FILE' FOR ALL THE ASSOCIATED IMPORT ENTRIES. CORRECTING ERROR RBL WILL ALSO CORRECT ERROR BRH.

BRB:	INTERES AMOUNT MISMATCH (R17:R91)

THE PAYABLE INTEREST AMOUNT IN THE R17 RECORD MUST = THE INTEREST AMOUNT IN THE R91 RECORD. IF NO INTEREST IS PAYABLE, BOTH THE R17 AND R91 RECORDS MUST INDICATE ZEROES FOR THE INTEREST AMOUNT.

VM3:	HLN: STRING SELECT MUST BE Y/N

THE SELECT BY STRING SWITCH MUST BE Y=YES OR N=NO. THIS WILL DETERMINE IF OVERRIDE SELECT CRITERIA WILL SUPPORT A STRING SEARCH.

ASU:	MERCHANDISE DESC. REJECTED

MERCHANDISE DESCRIPTION REJECTED.

546:	EXISTING ENTRY IN CUSTOMS STATUS

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO TRANSMIT AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION FOR AN ENTRY NUMBER THAT IS IN CUSTOMS STATUS. CUSTOMS STATUS MEANS THAT CUSTOMS HAS "PROCESSED" THE ENTRY. THE MOST COMMON SITUATION FOR THIS ERROR IS WHEN A PAYMENT HAS BEEN COLLECTED (BY CHECK, STATEMENT PROCESSING OR ACH) AND THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY DATA. ANOTHER COMMON CAUSE FOR THIS ERROR IS WHEN THE ENTRY NUMBER APPEARS ON A PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE SUMMARY DATA WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE ENTRY FROM STATEMENT STATUS. IF THE ENAI SCREEN SHOWS "ENT ACP NOT LIQ", THE FILER MAY NOT RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY UNTIL THE SUMMARY IS PUT INTO A REJECTED STATUS. IF THE ENTRY NUMBER IS A DRAWBACK CLAIM THAT IS IN CUSTOMS STATUS AND THE FILER IS ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE DATA, THE DISKETTE WILL BE REJECTED AND CUSTOMS WILL MANUALLY PROCESS ANY CHANGES AS INDICATED ON THE PAPER CLAIM. IF THE ENTRY NUMBER IS NOT A DRAWBACK CLAIM, BOTH THE CLAIM AND DISKETTE WILL BE RETURNED. ACCELERATED DRAWBACK WILL BE PAID UPON CORRECTION (IF NOT PREVIOUSLY PAID). ABI WILL REJECT THE TRANSMISSION.

11R:	3 TARIFF QUOTA LINE CANNOT BE ABI

AN ABI ENTRY WAS ENTERED WITH A QUOTA TARIFF NUMBER ON A LINE THAT CONTAINS MORE THAN 2 TARIFF NUMBERS.

02J:	PC: NONNUMERIC EST ARRIVAL DATE

ESTIMATED ARRIVAL DATE ENTERED IS NON-NUMERIC. THIS ENTRY HAS BEEN FLAGGED AS A PAIRED CITIES ENTRY. A VALID ESTIMATED ARRIVAL DATE IS REQUIRED.

95B:	BOND AMOUNT MISSING/INVALID

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF A SINGLE TRANSACTION BOND IS OBLIGATED (A "9" IN POS 49 OF THE 10 REC), A 21 RECORD IS REQUIRED WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT TRANSMITTED IN POS 3-12 OF THE 21 RECORD. IF THIS FIELD IS LEFT BLANK OR CONTAINS ANY CHARACTERS OTHER THAN NUMERIC ONES, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. [NOTE - AS OF NOV 18, 1998, AN AMOUNT OF ZERO DOLLARS WAS ACCEPTED BY ABI IN THIS FIELD]

ABX:	BROKER NOT AUTHORIZED FOR REQUEST

A BROKER HAS REQUESTED INFORMATION THAT MAY BE ON FILE, BUT IS NOT ASSIGNED ITS FILER CODE. FOR RECONCILIATION ENTRIES, THIS MESSAGE INDICATES THAT THE FILER IS NOT A STATEMENT FILER IN THE PORT OF PROCESS. RECONCILIATION ENTRIES MUST BE PAID VIA STATEMENT PROCESSING, THUS THE FILER WILL GET THIS REJECT MESSAGE UNTIL HIS PROFILE RECORD REFLECTS OPERATIONAL STATUS FOR STATEMENT PROCESSING.
