AGU:	RELEASD-CANT UPDATE INVOICE

IF SSA01-RELEASE IS NOT SPACES, AN ASSOCIATED INVOICE CANNOT BE UPDATED. THE ABOVE COMMENT MEANS THAT AN INVOICE INPUT (APPLICATION CI) CANNOT BE TRANSMITTED IF THERE IS A RELEASE DATE ALREADY POSTED TO ANY ENTRY NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE INVOICE.

95P:	DUTY COMP DTE > 60 DAYS IN FUTURE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A PAYMENT DUE DATE MORE THAN 60 DAYS IN THE FUTURE AND THE PAY DUE DATE IS USED TO ESTABLISH THE DUTY COMPUTATION DATE (SEE THE COMP DATE HIERARCHY ON PAGE ENS-28 OF THE CATAIR), THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO OCCUR IF A FILER RETRANSMITS AN ENTRY WITH A VALID PAYMENT DUE DATE, BUT THE ENAI RECORD HAS ERRONEOUSLY BEEN POSTED WITH AN "ENTRY DATE" THAT WAS ONE YEAR LATER THAN THE ACTUAL ENTRY DATE. ABI COMPARED THE RETRANSMITTED PAY DUE DATE AND FOUND THAT THE ENTRY DATE WAS MORE THAN 60 DAYS IN THE FUTURE, WHEN COMPARED TO THE FILER'S PAYMENT DUE DATE.

NUMBER, THE NUMBER MUST CONTAIN 11 DIGITS (3 FOR THE CARRIERS PREFIX AND 8 FOR THE MASTER BILL NUMBER). IF ANY OF THE DIGITS ARE OMITTED, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

EITHER THE ID NUMBER OR THE PARTY TYPE INDICATOR IS MISSING, OR A BLANK RECORD WAS RECEIVED.

DKD:	D12 RECORD MUST CONTAIN DATA

THIS ERROR MESSAGE COULD BE THE RESULT OF A DRAWBACK DISKETTE OR ABI DRAWBACK PROBLEM. IT IS SAYING THAT WHEN CUSTOMS FORMATTED THE RECORDS FROM THE DRAWBACK DISKETTE OR WHEN THE DATA WAS SENT VIA ABI, NO DATA WAS PRESENT IN THE GIVEN RECORD. IF THE DISKETTE HAS NO DATA, THE PC PROGRAM SHOULD STOP IT BEFORE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DATA THERE, BUT IT WAS BAD DATA.

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.

42J:	INVALID IT/AWB/BL QUANTITY

THE MANIFESTED QUANTITY (ENTRY HEADER LEVEL) IS REPORTED IN THE SUMMARY INPUT IN REC 22, POS 51-58. THIS QUANTITY MUST BE GREATER THAN ZERO. IF ZERO IS TRANSMITTED, OR IF THE QUANTITY CONTAINS ANY CHARACTERS OTHER THAN NUMERICS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

FC4:	FCC FORM 740 REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ABI ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI).

NO NUMERICS ARE NECESSARY WHEN PET IS TRANSMITTED.

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.

AES:	ERROR IN A 32 REC;RLSE 6

VDH:	INCORRECTLY ESTIMATED MPF MINIMUM

CLASS CODE 499 SHOULD INDICATE THE TOTAL MERCHANDISE PROCESSING FEES (MPF) FROM ALL LINE-ITEM "62" RECORDS. IF THE ACTUAL TOTAL IS LESS THAN $25.00, USE $25.00 IN THE "89" RECORD. IF THE ENTRY IN QUESTION INVOLES NAFTA, THE MINIMUM MPF IS $21.00 UNLESS ONE OR MORE LINES DO NOT CLAIM NAFTA. IF THE FILER DOES NOT TRANSMIT THE APPROPRIATE MINIMUM MPF FOR A NAFTA ENTRY, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL ALSO BE GENERATED.
