0AA:	ENTRY NOT FOUND

THIS DRAWBACK MODULE ERROR MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE DESIGNATED IMPORT ENTRY DOES NOT EXIST AS GIVEN. ACS DOES A MATCH ON THE IMPORT ENTRY NUMBER AND THE PORT OF ENTRY GIVEN ON THE DISKETTE BY THE FILER. IF THE FILER USES AN IMPORT ENTRY/PORT COMBINATION THAT IS NOT VALID IN ACS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THEREFORE, EITHER THE ENTRY DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL, OR IT DOES NOT EXIST FOR THE PORT INDICATED. NOTE: THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE VALID ENTRIES ARE NOT IN ACS (E.G. INFORMALS THAT WERE JUST DONE ON CASH RECEIPTS). FOR THESE, A SPECIAL CM NUMBER HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN ACS. IF THE FILER INDICATES THAT THIS IS THE CASE, THE FILER MAY DESIGNATE THE MONIES FROM CM888888/9900. THIS CM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED JUST FOR THIS CASE WHERE EITHER AN INFORMAL OR MAIL ENTRY WAS DONE ON A CASH RECEIPT WITH NO ACS ENTRY RECORD CREATED. ***FOR RECON ENTRIES (09), IF THE FILER USES ACTION CODE 'R' IN THE R10 RECORD WITHOUT HAVING GOTTEN A SUCCESSFUL 'ADD' ON AN EARLIER TRANSMISSION, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. OR THE R20 ENTRY # IS NOT IN ACS.

NOTE: THE ERROR MESSAGE OUTPUT DOES NOT REFLECT THE ERROR IDENTIFIER "ACS".

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 EFFECTIVE 03/01/93, THIS COUNTRY CODE WAS NO LONGER VALID.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.

A CONSOLIDATED ENTRY SUMMARY IS ONLY VALID FOR ENTRY TYPE 01 OR 11.IF A FILER TRANSMITS THE CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY FLAG "C" IN REC 30, POS 39 (EI APPLICATION INPUT), WITH ANY ENTRY TYPE OTHER THAN 01 OR 11, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

IF BOND TYPE "0" IS SENT, AND NO SURETY CODE IS SENT, AS WELL, THIS MESSAGES RESULTS. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO APPEAR IF THE IMPORTER HAS TWO ACTIVE CONTINUOUS BONDS IN EFFECT AT THE SAME TIME. THE SURETY CODE FOR THE BOND THAT WENT INTO EFFECT FIRST MUST BE USED ON SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTIONS. SURETY CODES ARE VALIDATED BASED ON DATE OF RELEASE, SO A SUMMARY TRANSMITTED WITH A SURETY CODE BASED ON ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE WILL ALSO REJECT IF A DIFFERENT SURETY CODE WAS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF RELEASE. FOR RECONCILIATION, THE SURETY CODE GIVEN MUST BE VALID ON CUSTOMS FILE.

102:	INVALID ENTRY TYPE

VALID ENTRY TYPES: 01 FREE OR DUTIABLE CONSUMPTION 11 INFORMAL 41 DRAWBACK-MFG 02 QUOTA 12 INFORMAL QUOTA 42 DRAWBACK-SAME CONDITION 03 CVD/ANTIDUMPING 21 WAREHOUSE 43 DRAWBACK-REJ. 04 APPRAISEMENT 22 REWAREHOUSE 51 DCASR 05 VESSEL REPAIR 52 GOVERNMENT-DUTIABLE 06 FTZ 53 GOVERNMENT-FREE 07 QUOTA/ADD/CVD/VISA INBOND ENTRY TYPES ARE: 33,35,36,37,61,62,63,64,65,66.
