ABI Error Message

15F:	TARIFF NBR NOT LOGICALLY RELATED

THE TARIFF NUMBER IDENTIFIED IS NOT LOGICALLY RELATED TO ANOTHER TARIFF NUMBER ON THE LINE IN THE SUMMARY TRANSMISSION. THE MOST COMMON EXAMPLE IS THE ATTEMPT TO REPORT A NUMBER FROM CHAPTERS 1-97 WITH TARIFF NUMBER 98010010NN. THIS IS A TARIFF NUMBER FOR REPORTING THE RETURN OF A PRODUCT MANUFACTURED OR PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. A SECOND TARIFF NUMBER IS NOT PERMITTED WHEN REPORTING U.S. GOODS RETURNED. OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE REPORTING WATCH/CLOCK COMPONENTS NOT RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER AND REPORTING CERTAIN WEARING APPAREL ARTICLES AS PART OF AN ENSEMBLE WHEN THE DATABASE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE COMPONENT AS BELONGING TO THE ENSEMBLE.

27P:	*CENSUS* MAXIMUM VALUE EXCEEDED

THE TOTAL LINE ITEM VALUE EXCEEDS 100,000,000 DOLLARS. THIS MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN THE CRITERIA MUST BE DIFFERENT FOR ACS/ABI THAN THE STATISTICAL EDITS AT CENSUS.

VDC:	INFORMAL FEE REQUIRED

INFORMAL ENTRIES SUBMITTED THROUGH ABI REQUIRE AN ENTRY LEVEL FEE TO BE TRANSMITTED IN THE 34 RECORD WITH CLASS CODE 311. UNLESS THE IMPORTATION IS EXEMPT (AMERICAN GOODS RETURNED, EXPRESS CONSIGNMENT COURIER FACILITY, LDDC COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, ETC), THE FEE IS $2.00 FOR ABI ENTRIES.

95H:	INVALID OTHER RECON INDICATOR

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF THE FILER DESIRES TO FLAG AN IMPORT ENTRY FOR A NON- NAFTA RECONCILIATION, THE SUMMARY INPUT MUST CONTAIN ONE OF SEVEN CODES WHICH ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE 20 REC, POS 77-79. THE ONLY ALLOWABLE CODES ARE, AS OF SEP 1998, ARE "001" THROUGH "007". IF ANY OTHER CODE, EXCEPT THREE BLANK CHARACTERS WHEN NO RECONCILIATION IS ELECTED, IS TRANSMITTED IN THIS FIELD, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

05D:	INDICATE PAIRED CITIES WITH 'X'

A CHARACTER WAS ENTERED IN THE PAIRED CITIES INDICATOR BUT IT WAS NOT AN 'X'. X' IS THE ONLY VALID CHARACTER FOR INDICATING PAIRED CITIES. IF THIS IS NOT A PAIRED CITIES ENTRY, THE PAIRED INDICATOR SHOULD REMAIN A SPACE.

2AI:	INVALID BOND TYPE

A SHORT LISTING OF CURRENT BOND TYPES AND THEIR CORRESPONDING ACTIVITY CODES CAN BE FOUND IN THE CATAIR ON PAGE QIB-8. NOTE: ABI FILERS WHO DO BOND QUERIES WILL RECEIVE A SINGLE ALPHA CHARACTER CODE DESIGNATING WHICH TYPE OF BOND IS ON FILE, IF ANY, FOR THE IMPORTER BEING QUERIED. THE FILER'S SOFTWARE SHOULD TRANSLATE THE CODE INTO THE APPROPRIATE BOND TYPE AND DESCRIPTION.

APC:	USCS PROTEST NBR NOT ON FILE

THE VALUE ASSIGNED IN THE PROTEST NUMBER FIELD IS NOT A VALID CUSTOMS ASSIGN PROTEST NUMBER. THE CUSTOMS ASSIGNED PROTEST NUMBER IS ASSIGNED AT INITIAL PROTEST FILING AND IS REQUIRED FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT (AMENDMENT, ADDENDA & SERVICE REQUEST) FILINGS FOR THAT PROTEST.

4FN:	NO DECIMALS IN QTY FIELDS ALLOWED

QUANTITY FIELDS IN ABI ARE WHOLE NUMBER FIELDS. DECIMAL QUANTITIES ARE NOT PERMITTED HENCE DECIMALS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN QUANTITY FIELDS.

EIC:	INVALID PAYMENT TERMS TYPE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). PAYMENT TERMS MUST BE TRANSMITTED IN THE C02 REC, POS 6-75. EACH PAYMENT TERMS FIELD HAS A TWO CHARACTER "PAYMENT TERMS TYPE", WHICH MUST BE TRANSMITTED IN THE C02 REC, POS 4-5. THE LIST OF VALID PAYMENT TERMS TYPES IS ON PAGE AII-8 OF THE CATAIR. THE USE OF ANY OTHER CODE, OR A BLANK FIELD, IN THIS ELEMENT WILL GENERATE THIS ERROR MESSAGE

834:	ADD INVALID - BROKER REF MISMATCH

IF AN ENTRY SUMMARY RECORD EXISTS AND AN ADD TRANSACTION IS SUBMITTED VIA BATCH ABI INPUT, THE BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER IN THE EXISTING RECORD MUST MATCH THE BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER IN THE '20' RECORD OF THE BATCH ADD TRANSACTION. FILERS MAY CHANGE THEIR FILER REFERENCE NUMBER IF THEY USE ACTION CODE OF "R" (REPLACE) OR "C" (CHANGE) IN LIEU OF "A" (ADD). THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE CARGO DATA INPUT APPLICATION (HI) OR THE BORDER CARGO RELEASE APPLICATION (HN) IS USED AND THE "A" ACTION CODE IS TRANSMITTED WITH A DIFFERENT BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER THAN WAS USED ON THE INITIAL INPUT.

8VQ:	FATAL DATABASE ERROR

THIS MESSAGE IS SIMILIAR TO '999' "DB ERROR HAS OCCURRED". THERE IS AN INTERNAL ACS PROBLEM WITH THE PROGRAM. DRAWBACK DISKS WILL ONLY BE REJECTED FOR THIS ERROR AFTER USCS HAS RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM TO DETERMINE IF IT IS DISK RELATED. ABI WILL REJECT THE DATA TRANSMISSION.

957:	COUNTRY CODE NOT ON FILE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION HI). IF THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, REPORTED IN THE H5 REC, POS 6-7, IS NOT LISTED ON THE COUNTRY CODE FILE, THIS ERROR WILL BE GENERATED.

2DF:	CARR CODE REQ FOR MOT 10,11,40

ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMISSIONS FOR CARGO ARRIVING IN THE UNITED STATES BY AIR OR OCEAN (MOT 10, 11, 40, 41) MUST INCLUDE THE APPROPRIATE CODE REPRESENTING THE IMPORTING AIR OR OCEAN CARRIER. THE CARRIER CODE IS TRANSMITTED IN THE SUMMARY IN THE 30 REC, POS 73-76 (FOR THE FOUR CHARACTER OCEAN CARRIER CODE) AND IN THE 30 REC, POS 73-74 (FOR THE TWO CHARACTER AIR CARRIER CODE). THIS CODE IS REQUIRED WHETHER OR NOT THE ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT CONTAINS A CARGO CERTIFICATION REQUEST FLAG. IF THE FILER DOES NOT TRANSMIT THE CARRIER CODE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE CARRIER CODE IS OMITTED FROM THE CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION IDENTIFIER HI) FOR AIR OR OCEAN MODES OF TRANSPORTATION.

VPN:	D02 RECORD MUST CONTAIN DATA

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DERERRAL MODULE WHEN A D02 RECORD, OPTIONAL RECORD THAT CONTAINS THE CF4811 DATA AND BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER, IS SENT BUT CONTAINS NO DATA.

AAN:	CASE NUMBER INVALID/MISSING

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE ANTI-DUMPING (ADD) OR COUNTERVAILING DUTY (CVD) CASE NUMBER FIELD IN ABI REC 60, POS 13-22 (CVD CASE NO) OR POS 23-32 (ADD CASE NO); CATAIR, PAGE ENS-54). THE CASE NUMBER MUST BEGIN WITH AN 'A' IF ANTI-DUMPING OR A 'C' IF COUNTERVAILING DUTY AND BE FOLLOWED BY NINE NUMERICS. IF THE CASE NUMBER IS MISSING AND THE FILER HAS SENT AN ADD OR CVD ENTRY TYPE (03 OR 07), THIS MESSAGE IS ALSO GENERATED. THIS MESSAGE CAN APPEAR IF AN ADJUSTMENT IS ATTEMPTED ON A COFA TRANSACTION AND THE COFR SCREEN DOES NOT SHOW A CASE NUMBER = CASE NUMBER ON THE ORIGINAL COLLECTION.

95J:	NOT A RECONCILIATION IMPORTER

THIS MESSAGE INDICATES THAT THE IMPORTER OF RECORD TRANSMITTED IN THE ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT (APPLICATION EI) HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY HQ FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE RECONCILIATION PROGRAM. APPROVED IMPORTERS ARE LISTED IN THE RCIL DATABASE. THIS ERROR MESSAGE ALSO OCCURED IN OCTOBER 1999 WHEN AN IMPORTER NUMBER WAS FROZEN WHEN THE BOND WAS SET TO EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT. THE NEW BOND TO TAKE EFFECT THE NEXT DAY DID NOT HAVE A RECONCILIATION RIDER. RECONCILIATION CONTACT WAS INFORMED AND COORDINATED SOLUTION.

104:	CUSTOMS PROCESSED SUM ON FILE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED DURING BORDER CARGO RELEASE (HN) TRANSACTIONS. THE ENTRY MAY BE MODIFIED UP UNTIL THE TIME OF SUCCESSFUL ON LINE CUSTOMS PROCESSING. IF THE ENTRY SUMMARY HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AND IS ON FILE WITH CUSTOMS THIS MESSAGE WILL GENERATE. THIS MESSAGE ALSO APPLIES IF THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN CARGO SELECTIVITY FROM EITHER THE HI APPLICATION OR FROM A RETRANSMISSION OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY IN A NON-BORDER LOCATION.

EJF:	NAME OF DECLARANT REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION CI). THE C95 RECORD IS PROVIDED TO ENABLE THE FILER TO TRANSMIT A "SIGNATURE" FOR THE INVOICE. THE FIELD IS CALLED "DECLARANT" AND IS REPORTED IN POS 5-36.IF THIS ELEMENT IS LEFT BLANK, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

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.

1C6:	DUPLICATE ADD ERROR

THIS DRAWBACK MODULE MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE IMPORT ENTRY CITED ON THE DRAWBACK DISKETTE WAS SHOWN MORE THAN ONCE. SINCE THE DISKETTE AND ABI TRANSMISSION ARE CLAIM SUMMARIES, FILERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO ONLY SHOW AN IMPORT ENTRY ONE TIME AND SUMMARIZE THE TOTAL CLAIMED AMOUNT FOR THAT ENTRY. ON THE LEGAL PAPER CLAIM, A SINGLE IMPORT ENTRY MAY BE SHOWN MANY TIMES (FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THEY BREAK A CLAIM DOWN BY PART NUMBER), BUT ON THE DISKETTE IT CAN ONLY APPEAR ONCE.

"8VH:

QUANTITY & UNITS REQUIRED FOR ADD

THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A BILL OF LADING UPDATE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION LN). IF THE FILER TRANSMITS AN L3 RECORD, AT A MINIMUM, THE BILL OF LADING (OR AIR WAYBILL) NUMBER, THE MANIFESTED QUANTITY AND MANIFESTED UNIT OF MEASURE MUST BE TRANSMITTED. IF THE QUANTITY AND UNIT OF MEASURE ARE NOT TRANSMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. NOTE: IF THE BILL NUMBER AND UNITS OF MEASURE ARE SENT, BUT THE QUANTITY IS OMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL STILL BE GENERATED.

AFA:	ELEC INVOICE INDICATOR INVALID

THE ELECTRONIC INVOICE INDICATOR IS SENT IN POSITION 56 OF THE EI 10 RECORD. IT INDICATES THAT THE ENTRY IS PART OF THE AII PROGRAM. THE ONLY INDICATOR ALLOWED IS 'E' IF THE ENTRY IS BEING TRANSMITTED AS AN AII ENTRY, OTHERWISE SPACE FILL.

VQB:	TOT OWED U.S. CALCULATION ERROR

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. IF THE PAYMENT TYPE INDICATOR EQUALS 2,3, OR 5 IN THE D30 RECORD, POSITION 59 THEN AT LEAST ONE VALID D20 RECORD MUST BE PRESENT. THE TOTAL CANADIAN PAID DUTY IN THE D20 RECORD, POSITIONS 58-69 MUST EQUAL THE TOTAL CANADIAN PAID DUTY IN THE D30 RECORD, POSITIONS 26-36 (AND VICE-VERSA) OR THIS REJECT WILL RESULT. IF THE AMOUNT IN THE D30 RECORD IS MORE THAN THE AMOUNT IN THE D20 RECORD, THEN THE TOTAL DUTY OWED IN THE D30 RECORD, POSITIONS 37-47 WILL BE INCORRECT AND THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR.

06H:	PC:V/F/T MISSING

ENTRY IS PAIRED CITIES. V/F/T IS BLANK.

400:	GSP CLAIM INVALID FOR THIS TARIFF
