AQA: FILING DDPP REQUIRED

AR5: REFUND PARTY DATA REJECTED

IF A REFUND C/O PARTY WAS NOT NAMED AT THE TIME OF INITIAL FILING, AN AMEND- MENT QJ OR ADDENDA RJ TRANSACTION CAN BE SUBMITTED TO ADD THE REFUND C/O PARTY TO THE PROTEST RECORD.

IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE FILER INDICATE THE TYPE OF ACTION HE INTENDS TO PERFORM, 'A' = ADD REFUND C/O WHEREAS 'R' = REPLACE. THIS IS A 'HIGH LEVEL' ERROR MESSAGE RELATING TO SPECIFIC ERRORS IN THE P40 RECORD WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE INDICATED BY THE PRESENCE OF ONE OR MORE ERROR MESSAGES. A COMMON EXAMPLE WOULD BE "ARW: REFUND PARTY NBR NOT ON FILE," WHICH COULD RESULT FROM THE USE OF IMPROPER FORMAT OF THE IRS, SOC, OR USCS NUMBER.

VHC: FD 701:PHONE NBR MUST BE NUMERIC

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN NON-NUMERIC CHARACTERS ARE INPUT INTO THE "CONTACT PHONE NUMBER" FIELD, REC FD04, POS 29-38. THIS IS AN OPTIONAL FIELD. A COMMON PROBLEM IS THAT THE USER WILL SEND A "CONTACT NAME" (REC FD04 POS 19-28) THAT IS LONGER THAN 10 CHARACTERS AND THE FILER'S PROGRAM ALLOWS THE EXTRA CHARACTERS TO SPILL OVER INTO THE PHONE NUMBER FIELD. ALSO, PHONE NUMBERS MUST INCLUDE THE AREA CODE. IF THIS PART OF THE PHONE NUMBER ELEMENT IS LEFT BLANK, ERROR VHC ALSO RESULTS.

GENERALLY, THIS MESSAGE INDICATES THAT THE FILER HAS TRANSMITTED ONLY AN L1 RECORD WITH NO DATA ELEMENTS THAT WARRANT A CHANGE TO THE EXISTING DATA ELEMENTS ON THE PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED SELECTIVITY RECORD.

ALL PREVIOUS FY'S BEGAN ON JULY 1ST AND ENDED ON JUNE 30TH. ERROR OVERRIDE CAUSES REJECTION. EFFECTIVE 100484: ENTRY SUMMARY RECORDS ALLOW SEPTEMBER 84 DATES WITH FY 85 ENTRY NUMBERS.
EJI: NO. OF SHIPPING/PACKING UNITS REQ

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). THE NUMBER OF EXTERIOR SHIPPING UNITS MUST BE REPORTED (FOR CONTAINERIZED CARGO) IN THE C5 REC, POS 4-18.IF THIS FIELD IS BLANK OR REFLECTS A ZERO QUANTITY, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

BRS: R10 FIELDS MUST MATCH FILED ENTRY

THIS MESSAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE RECONCILIATION SUMMARY IS ALREADY FILED AND THE FILER IS DOING A REPLACEMENT OR CORRECTION. VIRTUALLY ALL FIELDS IN THE NEW 'R10' MUST MATCH WHAT IS ALREADY ON FILE. THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS REJECT IS THE ABSENCE OF A '00' SUFFIX IN THE IMPORTER OF RECORD NUMBER IN THE R10 REC, POS 20-31. EVEN IF THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION DID NOT CONTAIN THE SUFFIX, ONCE IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED ERROR-FREE, THE ENAI RECORD SUPPLIES THE ZEROS AND MAKES THEM MANDATORY WHEN A RETRANSMISSION IS DONE. NOTE THAT THE R10 RECORD LISTS TWO FIELDS WHERE THIS ERROR CAN OCCUR: THE IMPORTER ID MENTIONED ABOVE IN POS 20-31 AND THE 4811 REFERENCE NUMBER IN POS 60-71. BOTH FIELDS MUST HAVE A SUFFIX IN ORDER TO PROCESS THE RECON ENTRY. A SECOND REASON FOR THIS REJECTION MESSAGE RELATES TO THE RECON TEAM, IN POS 41-43 OF THE R10. IF THE PORT HAS CHANGED THE ASSIGNED TEAM ON THE ENAI RECORD FOR THE PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED 09 ENTRY, IT MUST BE CHANGED BACK TO THE APPROPRIATE RECON TEAM NUMBER BEFORE THE FILER CAN RETRANSMIT THE ENTRY.

INTERVENTIONS MAY BE FILED ANY TIME BEGINNING WITH FILING OF ADVERSE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN MARKING DECISION ENDING WITH USCS DECISION. FOR PROTESTS OR CLAIMS RELATED TO ENTRIES, LIQUIDATION DATE CONSTITUTES THE START OF THE PERIOD.

4BI: QUOTA ENTRY CANNOT BE CHANGED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A STATEMENT ADD/DELETE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION HI). FILERS WHO HAVE ENTRY SUMMARIES IN QUOTA ACCEPTED STATUS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR PAYMENT VIA ACH ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REMOVE THOSE ENTRIES FROM STATEMENT/ACH STATUS.
