ABI Error Message

VA7:	TARIFF REQUIRES OGA INFO

IF THE TARIFF NUMBER HAS AN FW1 IN THE TARIFF FILE, THE FILER MUST TRANSMIT EITHER AN OA DISCLAIMER RECORD OR THE APPLICABLE FWS INFORMATION IN THE OI, FW01, FW02 AND FW03 RECORDS. IF THE TARIFF NUMBER HAS AN FW2 IN THE TARIFF FILE THE FILER MUST TRANSMIT THE OI, FW01, FW02 AND FW03 RECORDS.

20F:	INBOND NUMBER INVALID -BAD LENGTH

THE SYSTEM WILL ONLY ACCEPT AN 8 OR 11 CHARACTER INPUT FOR THIS FIELD. CHECK THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS ENTERED ON YOUR SCREEN.

Q06:	STATEMENT NOT ON FILE

EITHER THE STATEMENT NUMBER GIVEN IN POSITIONS 15 THROUGH 24 OF THE QT RECORD CANNOT BE FOUND ON THE DSA FILE OR THE STATEMENT NUMBER WAS NOT RIGHT JUSTIFIED WITH A ZERO IN POSITION 14. WHEN CUSTOMS BILLS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT THROUGH ACH, POSITION 14 WILL BE CHANGED TO ACCEPT OTHER NUMBERS. THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR THIS MESSAGE IS THAT ALL ENTRIES ORIGINALLY LISTED ON THE STATEMENT HAVE BEEN DELETED, EITHER BY THE FILER OR BY CUSTOMS. ONCE ALL ENTRIES ARE REMOVED FROM THE STATEMENT, THE STATEMENT NUMBER DROPS OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND CANNOT BE USED IN AN ACH PAYMENT TRANSACTION.

40K:	SPI INVALID FOR EXP COUNTRY

SPECIAL PROGRAM INDICATORS, LISTED IN THE CATAIR ON PAGES ENS-48 AND 49 MAY NOT BE VALID FOR ALL PROGRAMS FOR ALL COUNTRIES. FOR EXAMPLE, ECUADOR IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE ANDEAN PREFERENCE PROGRAM (SPI "J"), BUT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE CARRIBEAN PREFERENCE PROGRAM (SPI "E"). THEREFORE, AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION THAT USED CODE "E" WITH ISO CODE "EC" AS THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT WOULD RECEIVE THIS ERROR MESSAGE.

VAL:	FW 3-177: LICENSE NOT ON FILE

THE LICENSE NUMBER WHICH IS TRANSMITTED IN THE FW02 RECORD, POS 45-50 MUST BE RESIDENT IN THE FWL FILE. THE LICENSE NUMBER IS ISSUED BY FSW TO IMPORTERS IMPORT OVER $25,000 ANNUALLY OF MERCHANDISE THAT IS SUBJECT TO FWS. CUSTOMS DOES NOT TRACK CUMULATIVE VALUES. THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FWS. FWS UP- LOADS THE U.S. LICENSE INFORMATION TO ACS ONCE A WEEK. IF A FILER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED A U.S. LICENSE NUMBER AND ATTEMPTS TO TRANSMIT IT PRIOR TO THE UPLOAD, THEY SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE LOCAL FWS OFFICE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON CLEARING MERCHANDISE UNTIL THE LICENSE IS RESIDENT IN OUR DATA BASE. THERE ARE NO EDITS TO REQUIRE THE USER TO TRANSMIT THE LICENSE NUMBER, BUT IF A LICENSE NUMBER IS TRANSMITTED, THERE MUST BE AN EXACT MATCH WITH ONE OF THE LICENSE NUMBERS IN THE FWL FILE.

ARF:	ACTION CODE INVALID

WHEN PROTESTANT TYPE IS "F" (FOREIGN) OR "O" (OTHER), PROTESTANT NAME AND ADDRESS MAY BE CORRECTED BY FILING AN AMENDMENT DURING ANY REMAINING PORTION OF THE FILING/AMENDMENT PERIOD, OR BY FILING AN ADDENDA AFTER THE FILING/AMENDMENT PERIOD HAS CLOSED. THE LETTER "C" MUST BE USED IN THE ACTION CODE FIELD. THE INDICATOR TRANSMITTED WAS A LETTER OR CHARACTER OTHER THAN "C".

39B:	INVALID DUTY FREE CLAIM

THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A DUTY-FREE CLAIM THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN/COUNTRY OF EXPORT COMBINATION. FOR EXAMPLE, INSULAR POSSESSIONS (SPI "Y") ARE ENTITLED TO SHIP CARGO DUTY FREE TO THE UNITED STATES, BUT ONLY IF THE SHIPMENT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE POSSESSION. THEREFORE, IF THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT (50 REC, POS 69-70) IS NOT IDENTICAL TO THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (40 REC, POS 6-7), AND THE FILER TRANSMITS "Y" IN POS 3 OF THE 50 RECORD, THIS ERROR WILL RESULT. THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF SPI "Y" IS USED FOR AMERICAN GOODS RETURNED PRODUCTS (CHAPT 98010010NN), AS THESE ARTICLES ARE UNCONDITIONALLY FREE OF DUTY AND THEREFORE DO NOT REQUIRE A SPECIAL PROGRAM IN ORDER TO CLAIM DUTY-FREE STATUS.

BRO:	RECON DATE CANNOT BE < 100198

NO RECONCILIATION SUMMARY CAN HAVE AN ENTRY DATE < 100198.

VGS:	FD 701: DMNS INV;PREV DMNS=0'S

FOR EXAMPLE, IF 0511 WAS TRANSMITTED IN THE "CONTAINER DIMENSION #2" FIELD AND 0000 IN THE "CONTAINER DIMENSION #1" FIELD, THIS REJECT WOULD RESULT.

DDC:	NAFTA/OTH RECONCILIATN NOT FILED

A DRAWBACK CLAIM CANNOT BE FILED AGAINST AN IMPORT ENTRY THAT HAS BEEN FLAGGED FOR RECONCILIATION UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE RECONCILIATION SUMMARY HAS BEEN FILED AND PAID. AT THE TIME OF LIQUIDATION, THIS MESSAGE IS ALSO USED TO ALERT THE USER THAT THE TYPE '01', '02', OR '06' ENTRY IS FLAGGED FOR BOTH NAFTA AND OTHER RECONCILIATION, BUT THE RECONCILIATION HAS NOT YET BEEN FILED. THIS MESSAGE IS OVERRIDEABLE AT LIQUIDATION.

Q19:	'QT' PAYMENT TYPE INVALID

THE PAYMENT TYPE (REC QT, POS 9-10) MUST BE "01" AT THE CURRENT TIME. EVENTUALLY, OTHER CUSTOMS OBLIGATIONS SUCH AS BILLS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR ACH PAYMENT USING OTHER PAYMENT TYPE INDICATORS. UNTIL THAT ENHANCEMENT IS ANNOUNCED, ONLY PAYMENT TYPE 01 WILL BE ACCEPTED BY ABI (WHICH MEANS THAT SPACES "00" OR A "1" WILL ALSO BE REJECTED).

327:	INVALID DP-SITE DISTRICT/PORT

THIS MESSAGE RESULTS WHEN A FILER SENDS AN 'A' RECORD DISTRICT/PORT/FILER SITE THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE BROKER PROFILE IN ACS. A BROKER PROFILE RECORD MUST EXIST FOR THE TRANSMITTED DP-SITE DISTRICT/PORT. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, FOR FILERS WHO HAVE OFFICE CODES IN THEIR BROKER PROFILE RECORDS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF THE PORT CODE IN THE 10 RECORD OF THE EI APPLICATION DOES NOT AGREE EXACTLY WITH THE PORT CODE IN THE "B" RECORD. (NOTE 1 ON PAGE APL-6 OF THE CATAIR INDICATES THAT AGREEMENT BETWEEN APPLICATION DETAIL RECORDS AND THE "B" RECORD MUST BE AT THE DISTRICT CODE LEVEL. THIS IS TRUE EXCEPT FOR OFFICE CODE SITUATIONS, WHICH REQUIRES AGREEMENT AT THE FOUR-DIGIT DDPP LEVEL).

VC9:	MPF SURCHARGE NOT REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). FILERS WHO HAVE ABE RECORDS ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT INDICATE OPERATIONAL STATUS FOR CARGO RELEASE OR BORDER CARGO RELEASE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DEPOSIT THE MANUAL MPF SURCHARGE. IF THE FILER TRANSMITS CLASS CODE 500 WITH $2.00 ON ANY ENTRY AFTER OBTAINING OPERATIONAL CARGO STATUS, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

680:	BOND NOT ON FILE

THE BOND FILE VALIDATION DID NOT FIND THE BOND TYPE ON FILE THAT WAS IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF ENTRY. NO CONTINUOUS BOND IS ON FILE FOR THE IMPORTER OF RECORD. A DOUBLE SEARCH FOR BONDS OF PARENT COMPANIES DOES NOT APPLY TO CONTINUOUS BONDS. EACH SUBSIDIARY MUST BE UPDATED TO A BOND. IN THE DRAWBACK MODULE THIS MESSAGE INDICATES THAT THERE IS NO 1A BOND ON FILE FOR THE DRAWBACK CLAIMANT WHO IS TRYING TO OBTAIN A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE OTHER THAN WAIVER OF PRIOR NOTICE.

ARP:	NOTIFY SUB ALREADY ON FILE

THE ID NUMBER OF THE SUBSTITUTE IS ALREADY ON THE PROTEST RECORD MAKING IT A DUPLICATE, OR THE FILER NEEDS TO CHECK THAT THE APPROPRIATE ACTION CODE IS BEING USED: "A" = ADD, "R" = REPLACE.

APU:	SAMPLE INDICATOR INVALID

NOTIFICATION TO CUSTOMS THAT A SAMPLE HAS BEEN SENT, INDICATED BY 'S', MAY BE SUBMITTED BY FILER AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO ADJUDICATION OF PROTEST OR CLAIM BY CUSTOMS. 'N' INDICATES THAT A SAMPLE DOES NOT APPLY. ONCE SET TO 'S' THE SAMPLE INDICATOR CANNOT BE UN-SET TO 'N'. THE VALUE SUBMITTED IN THE SAMPLE INDICATOR IS NOT 'S' OR 'N'.

4FN:	NO DECIMALS IN QTY FIELDS ALLOWED

THIS INTERIM MESSAGE IS TELLING THE FILER THAT THEIR REQUEST PASSED ABI EDITS AND HAS BEEN SENT TO THE FDA SYSTEM. FDA WILL PROCESS THE REQUEST AND SEND BACK THE FEI NUMBER IN A SEPARATE ABI TRANSACTION.

681:	CUSTOMS REL VIA EREL ON FILE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO SEND SELECTIVITY DATA FOR AN ENTRY THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RELEASED. A FILER WILL RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE WHETHER THE RELEASE OF THE ENTRY NUMBER WAS VIA A "PAPERLESS" MESSAGE OR "DOCS REQUIRED".  IN THE LATTER CASE, ONCE THE ON-LINE PROCESSING HAS BEEN COMPLETED, A RETRANSMISSION OF THE CARGO DATA WILL GENERATE THIS MESSAGE AT THE TIME OF HI TRANSMISSION.

4D8:	BANNED IMPORT FROM COUNTRY

THIS MERCHANDISE FROM THE COUNTRY IN QUESTION MAY NOT BE ENTERED. THIS MESSAGE ALSO APPEARS WHEN THERE IS A "BANNED" STATUS IN THE QUOTA FILE. THE TARIFF NUMBER FROM THE COUNTRY IN QUESTION MAY POSSIBLY BE ENTERED UNDER A CHAPTER 99 PROVISION. CHECK THE ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES FOR THE PRODUCT IN QUESTION. CHECK THE QUOTA QUERY FOR "BANNED" IN STATUS COLUMN.

AP9:	VOID. REQ. DATA REJECTED

VOIDANCE REQUEST DATA REJECTED. THE REQUEST TO VOID DENIAL OF THE PROTEST CAN ONLY BE SUBMITTED ONE TIME. REQUEST CANNOT BE MADE IF THE STATUS OF THE PROTEST IS OTHER THAN DENIED, PARTLY DENIED, NOT PROTESTABLE, OR UNTIMELY FILED-DENIED.

VGR:	FD 701: DMNS MUST BE IN INCH/16TH

IN THE FDA INTERFACE THE FILER MUST SEND CONTAINER DIMENSIONS FOR LOW ACID CANNED FOODS. CONTAINER DIMENSIONS ARE FOUND IN THE FD03 RECORD. CONTAINER DIMENSION 1 IS FOUND IN POSITIONS 65-68, CONTAINER DIMENSION 2 IN POSITIONS 69- 72 AND CONTAINER DIMENSION 3 IN POSITIONS 73-76. IF A CONTAINER DIMENSION IS TRANSMITTED IT MUST BE IN INCHES AND 16THS OF AN INCH. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE CAN SIZE IS 5 AND 3/16, IT WOULD BE REPORTED AS "0503". IF THE CAN SIZE IS 13 AND 13/16, IT WOULD BE REPORTED AS "1313".

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.

RBU:	RECON FILER NOT ON FILE

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

14G:	THIS TARIFF NBR ALREADY ENTERED

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN A SET PROVISION SITUATION WHEN THE TARIFF NUMBER SENT IN THE 70 RECORD IS THE SAME AS THE SET PROVISION TARIFF NUMBER SENT IN THE 50 RECORD. THE TARIFF NUMBER IN THE 70 RECORD MUST BE DIFFERENT AND MUST BE THE NUMBER THAT ESTABLISHES THE CORRECT RATE OF DUTY FOR THE SET. THIS ERROR MESSAGE CAN ALSO OCCUR IN NON SET PROVISION LINES IF THE FILER USES THE SAME TARIFF NUMBER IN THE 50 AND 70 RECORDS OR IN THE 70 AND 80 RECORDS.
