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.
