ABI Error Message

552: ENTRY DELETE NOT ALLOWED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY DELETE INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF THE FILER HAS PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED AN ENTRY SUMMARY THAT WAS REJECTED, AND THE SUMMARY IN QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN PAID IN OR OTHERWISE FILED WITH A LOCAL CUSTOMS OFFICE, THE ABI REJECT WILL ERASE PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED ABI ENTRY SUMMARY DATA. IN SUCH A CASE, THE TRANSMISSION OF AN ENTRY SUMMARY DELETE TRANSACTION (ACTION CODE "D" IN POS 3 OF THE 10 REC) WILL GENERATE THIS ERROR MESSAGE.

NO NUMERICS ARE NECESSARY WHEN PET IS TRANSMITTED.
17K: INVALID APPLICATION CODE

THE APPLICATION CODE FOUND ON THE 'B' RECORD WAS LOCATED IN THE APPLICATION CODE FILE, HOWEVER, THE CODE IS NUMERIC AND RESERVED FOR SPECIAL USE.

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. THE D20 RECORD IN THIS MODULE IS WHERE THE NAFTA CTRY ENTRY NUMBER AND TARIFF NUMBER ARE SENT. THE NUMBER OF NAFTA COUNTRY LINES CANNOT EXCEED 99,999.
EIA: INVALID INVOICE TYPE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION CI).

THE TRANSMISSION OF EITHER A BLANK FIELD OR ANY OTHER INVOICE TYPE THAN IS SHOWN ON PAGE AII-6 OF THE CATAIR WILL RESULT IN THIS ERROR MESSAGE.
452: CHARGES AMOUNT INVALID

IF THERE ARE NO CHARGES, OR CHARGES ARE LESS THAN $ 1 AN "X" WILL BE LISTED AS VALUE OF CHARGES. IN CASE OF OVERLAND SHIPMENTS ARRIVING FROM MEXICO OR CANADA "X" IS ALWAYS SHOWN. IF AGGREGATE CHARGES COVER MERCHANDISE ENTERED UNDER SEVERAL ITEM NUMBERS, AND EXACT BREAKDOWN IS UNKNOWN, CHARGES SHALL BE PRORATED BY VALUE. THE ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO ABI TRANSMISSIONS. CHARGES ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT (EI) IN THE 40 REC, POS 48-57. CHARGES ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL MOT'S EXCEPT 60 (HAND-CARRIED) AND FOR ALL ENTRIES EXCEPT INFORMAL ENTRIES. AN AMOUNT OF AT LEAST ONE DOLLAR IS REQUIRED FOR THIS FIELD.

THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IN REC 20, POS 28-29 (EI APPLICATION) IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE DISTRICT-PORT FILE FOR THE PORT OF UNLADING IN REC 20, POS 30-33. THE ACCEPTABLE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION FOR A GIVEN PORT CODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE DISTRICT-PORT DATABASE. PORTS WHICH ACCEPT EITHER OCEAN OR AIR SHIPMENTS WILL HAVE A "B" IN THE "CARRIER TYPE" FIELD. "V" INDICATES A VESSEL PORT ONLY AND "A" INDICATES AN AIRPORT ONLY.
DKM: INVALID CANADIAN TARIFF FORMAT

CANADIAN TARIFF NUMBERS ARE THE SAME FORMAT AS OUR HS NUMBERS, 10 NUMERIC CHARACTERS WITH NO ALPHA OR SPECIAL CHARACTERS. FOR MEXICO, SHOULD MEXICO DECIDE TO GO WITH A TARIFF NUMBER OF LESS THAN 10 POSITIONS, THE NUMBER SHOULD INCLUDE TRAILING ZEROES TO FILL OUT THE 10 NUMERICS.
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. WHEN A REFUND C/O PARTY IS ALREADY LISTED ON THE PROTEST RECORD, THE FILER CAN CHANGE IT USING THE AMEND OR ADDENDA TRANSACTION. 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.
DDB: OTHER RECONCILIATION 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.

THIS MESSAGE IS OVERRIDEABLE AT LIQUIDATION.
AP2: HEADER/DETAIL DATA REQUIRED

ONE OR MORE REQUIRED RECORDS IS MISSING. A P10 IS REQUIRED FOR INITIAL, AMENDMENT, ADDENDA, AND SERVICE REQUESTS. THE P11 IS REQUIRED FOR INITIAL FILING. THE P11 SHOULD BE USED AS PART OF THE AMENDMENT OR ADDENDA ONLY TO CHANGE A 'N' (NO) SAMPLE AND/OR 'N' (NO) HARDCOPY INDICATOR TO 'S' (SENT). THE P15 RECORD IS REQUIRED FOR INITIAL FILING. THE P16 RECORD IS REQUIRED WHEN FURTHER REVIEW IS REQUESTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING P10 OF THE INITIAL FILING OR AMENDMENT TRANSACTION.
VAS: TEAM NOT EQUAL TO ACS TEAM

THIS MESSAGE IS NOT A REJECTION, BUT MERELY A WARNING. THE IMPORT SPECIALIST TEAM IS AN OPTIONAL RECORD IN THE SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (EI). IT IS SENT IN THE 30 REC, POS 77-79. IF THE FILER TRANSMITS THIS ELEMENT AND IT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE IMPORT SPECIALIST TEAM ASSIGNMENT DESIGNATED BY ACS, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT. IN SOME CASES, THE FILER MAY NOT KNOW WHICH TEAM WILL BE ASSIGNED BY ACS, ESPECIALLY IF THE ENTRY CONTAINS SEVERAL LINES. ACS WILL RESPOND TO THE INPUT WITH THIS WARNING MESSAGE AND WITH THE ACTUAL ASSIGNED TEAM NUMBER IN THE E0 OR E90 RECORD OUTPUT. THE FILER HAS THE OPTION OF RETRANSMITTING THE SUMMARY WITH THE CORRECT TEAM NUMBER (RARELY DONE) OR OF PRINTING THE SUMMARY DOCUMENTS WITH THE CORRECT TEAM NUMBER SHOWN.
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).

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN THE FILER SENDS A TARIFF NUMBER LINE WHERE THE HARMONIZED NUMBER IS CODED FD2 (FDA DATA IS REQUIRED) IN THE HSA FILE BUT FDA INFORMATION (RECS FD01-FD05) HAS NOT BEEN TRANSMITTED. A DISCLAIM WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

VGL: FD 701: UOM 1 REQUIRED

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER TRANSMITS A QUANTITY IN POSITIONS 5-14 OF THE FD02 RECORD BUT DOES NOT TRANSMIT A UNIT OF MEASURE IN POSITIONS 15-18 OF THE FD02 RECORD. THIS WOULD ALSO APPLY TO SUBSEQUENT QUANTITIES IN THE FD02 RECORD.
