ABI Error Message

VAQ:	COMM. INVOICE DATA NOT ON FILE

FILERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTRONIC INVOICE PROGRAM (EIP) MUST TRANSMIT COMMERCIAL INVOICE DATA TO ABI PRIOR TO TRANSMITTING THEIR SUMMARY DATA IF THE SUMMARY CONTAINS AN "E" IN POS 56 OF THE 10 RECORD. IF THE FILER IS PARTICIPATING IN THE INVOICE BY REQUEST PROGRAM, THEN IT IS PERMISSABLE TO TRANSMIT THE 42 RECORD WITH THE INVOICE NUMBER AND THE 43 RECORD WITH THE "INVREQ" DATA WITHOUT FIRST TRANSMITTING THE COMMERCIAL INVOICE. HOWEVER, UNLESS ONE OF THE TWO CONDITIONS ABOVE IS MET, A TRANSMISSION OF THE SUMMARY AS AN ELECTRONIC SUMMARY (EIP) WILL BE REJECTED WITH THIS ERROR MESSAGE. **NOTE** IF THE FILER USES MORE THAN ONE 42 RECORD PER 40 RECORD, AND "INVREQ" PERTAINS TO THE 42 RECORD, EACH 42 RECORD MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A 43 RECORD. IF THIS PAIRING IS NOT FOLLOWED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

RBV:	WARNING - IMPTR ON REG'L SANCTION

FOR RECONCILIATION, THIS MEANS THAT THE IMPORTER IS ON REGIONAL SANCTION. THIS IS ONLY A WARNING FOR RECONCILIATION.

8WX:	INVALID MASTER BL/AWB NUMBER

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A BILL OF LADING UPDATE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION LN). THE MASTER BILL IS REPORTED IN THE L3 REC, POS 20-31. THIS NUMBER MUST BE LEFT JUSTIFIED IF FEWER THAN 12 CHARACTERS LONG. IF ANY LEADING SPACES ARE INCLUDED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BILL NUMBER, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

89O:	MPF REQUIRED

THIS ENTRY REQUIRES A MERCHANDISE PROCESSING FEE BUT NONE WAS ENTERED. MPF IS DUE ON ALL ENTRIES UNLESS OTHERWISE EXEMPT. SOME OF THE EXEMPTIONS ARE: -- ALL TARIFF NUMBERS IN CHAPTER 98, EXCEPT 98020060NN AND 98020080NN. -- ENTRIES FROM INSULAR POSSESSIONS OF THE UNITED STATES. -- ENTRIES FROM CARRIBEAN INITIATIVE COUNTRIES (SPI E) OR LDDC COUNTRIES. -- INFORMAL ENTRIES (ALTHOUGH AN INFORMAL MPF IS REQUIRED AT THE ENTRY LEVEL.) -- NAFTA ENTRIES FROM CANADA.

89E:	FEE CODE ENTERED/NOT REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF A FEE IS TRANSMITTED IN THE 62 RECORD FOR A TARIFF NUMBER THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN A FLAG FOR THAT FEE ON THE TARIFF FILE. THE MOST COMMON EXAMPLE IS THE TRANSMISSION OF A COTTON FEE, CLASS CODE 056, FOR A TARIFF NUMBER THAT DOES NOT HAVE A COTTON FEE ON ITS CURRENT RECORD. FILERS SHOULD VERIFY THE APPLICABILITY OF THE FEE FROM THE TARIFF FILES. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT IF CERTAIN FEES ARE TRANSMITTED INCORRECTLY ON A SET ENTRY. IN THIS CASE, THE MPF FEE (499) AND THE HMF (501) FEES MUST ONLY BE TRANSMITTED WITH THE "X" LINES. OTHER TARIFF SPECIFIC FEES CAN ONLY BE TRANSMITTED WITH THE APPROPRIATE "V" LINES. THIS MESSAGE IS ALSO GENERATED IF THE AMOUNT OF THE COTTON FEE, CALCULATED BY ACS, IS LESS THAN $2.01, USING THE CORRECT RATE. ACS WILL NOT DISPUTE THE FILER'S AMOUNT OF COTTON FEE IN SUCH A SITUATION. IT WILL MERELY ADVISE THE FILER THAT NO FEE IS REQUIRED.

8WM:	VOYAGE/FLIGHT NUMBER INVALID

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A BILL OF LADING UPDATE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION LN). THE VOYAGE/FLIGHT NUMBER MUST BE A MINIMUM OF THREE CHARACTERS IN LENGTH. FOR OCEAN SHIPMENTS (MOT 10/11/12), ANY COMBINATION OF NUMBERS AND LETTERS IS PERMITTED FOR THE VOYAGE NUMBER. IF THE VOYAGE NUMBER HAS A LEADING SPACE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ELEMENT IN THE L1 REC, POS 36-40, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED EVEN IF THE REMAINING POSITIONS ARE FILLED WITH A MINIMUM OF THREE ALPHA-NUMERIC CHARACTERS. **NOTE** - FOR AIR SHIPMENTS, LEADING SPACES OR A FLIGHT NUMBER WITH FEWER THAN 3 NUMERIC CHARACTERS WILL GENERATE ERROR MESSAGE 10R "INVALID FLIGHT NUMBER FORMAT".

564:	LINE MISSING/OUT OF SEQ/INVALID

SUMMARY INPUT CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF RECORDS DESCRIBED IN THE CATAIR. IF ANY REQUIRED RECORDS ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE WRONG ORDER, OR IF REQUIRED RECORDS ARE OMITTED IN THE TRANSMISSION, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. THIS MESSAGE ALSO APPLIES TO OTHER APPLICATIONS, AS DESCRIBED IN THE CATAIR, FOR WHICH RECORDS ARE TRANSMITTED THAT ARE EITHER OUT OF PROPER SEQUENCE, OR ARE NOT PART OF THE APPLICATION. FOR EXAMPLE, TRANSMITTING THE OGA CORRECTION APPLICATION (CODE CP) WITH FCC DATA WILL CAUSE THIS ERROR MESSAGE. OMITTING THE CARRIER CODE IN THE 01 RECORD FOR A BORDER CARGO RELEASE INPUT (HN) FOR AN AMS PORT WILL GET THIS MESSAGE. MOST OTHER SITUATIONS THAT RESULT IN THIS ERROR ARE FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD AS TO WHICH RECORDS MAY BE MISSING OR SENT IN ERROR. FOR RECON ENTRIES, CHECK EVERY R20 RECORD THAT HAS A FOLLOWING R21 RECORD. THERE MUST BE A TRAILER COUNTER IN POS 78-79 OF THE R20 WHICH SHOWS HOW MANY R21'S ARE BEING INCLUDED FOR THE ENTRY IN THE R20. IF THE R20 SHOWS '01' IN POS 78-79, THERE MUST BE ONLY 1 R21 RECORD, AND SO ON. THE REVERSE IS TRUE, AS WELL: IF NO R21 REC, THE R20 MUST SHOW '00'.

386:	GSP COUNTRY EXP/ORIG CONFLICT
