ABI Error Message

661: IMPORTER NUMBER SUFFIX IS INVALID

THE LAST TWO SPACES ON THE IR# FORMAT MAY NOT END IN OO, ZZ OR II. 
FD2: PRODUCT CODE INVALID

PRODUCT CODE INVALID: IT CAN ONLY CONTAIN NUMERIC, ALPHA, OR HYPHENS IN POSITIONS 4 & 5. SPACES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ANY POSITIONS. 
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'.
VQQ: MISSING PRIV DATE

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. IF THE CLAIM TYPE INDICATOR IN THE D01 RECORD, POSITION 4 IS A '2' (FTZ) AND THE ZONE STATUS IN THE D10 RECORD, POSITION 39 IS 'P' (PRIVILEGED), THEN THE PRIVILEGED STATUS FILING DATE IN THE D10 RECORD, POSITIONS 4-45 CANNOT BE SPACES.
VMW: WHSE WITHDRAWAL ON FILE

WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL ENTRIES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CARGO SELECTIVITY BECAUSE THE SUBJECT MERCHANDISE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUBJECTED TO ADMISSIBILITY REVIEW WHEN THE ORIGINAL WAREHOUSE ENTRY (TYPE 21 OR 22) WAS PROCESSED. HENCE, IF THE FILER'S WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL INPUT CONTAINS A CARGO CERTIFICATION FLAG ("1" IN POS 38 OF THE 30 REC), THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THIS MESSAGE WILL USUALLY BE PRECEDED BY THE LETTERS "CERT" INDICATING THAT THIS REJECTION IS RELATED TO THE DENIAL OF CARGO RELEASE CERTIFICATION.
14M: QTY/RANGE ERROR FOR TARIFF NBR

ENTERED QUANTITY IS NOT IN RANGE FOR THE TARIFF NBR IN THE TARIFF DATABASE. THIS ERROR MESSAGE GENERATES IN RESPONSE TO SPECIFIC QUANTITY EDITS EXISTING ON THE TARIFF FILE. THE TARIFF NUMBERS QTY1/QTY2 VALUES REPORTED VIA ABI FALL OUT OF RANGE FOR THE EXISTING TARIFF QTY LO/HI BOUNDS. TO CALCULATE THE QUANTITY RATIO, USE THE QTY EDIT CODES LOCATED ON THE TARIFF DATABASE. FOR EXAMPLE, SEE HTS 5208521000. THE QTY EDIT CODES ARE 211. USE THE SECOND REPORTED QUANTITY (KG) AS THE NUMERATOR AND THE FIRST REPORTED QUANTITY (M2) AS THE DENOMINATOR TO DERIVE THE QUANTITY RATIO (SEE HTS USER'S GUIDE APPENDIX D, PAGES D-3 & D-4). FOR THIS HTS, THE QTY RATIO MUST FALL BETWEEN THE LO/HI/ QTY VALUES OR THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. TO CORRECT THE ERROR, THE FILER CAN 1) VERIFY THE QUANTITIES, 2) CONSULT THE HARMONIZED TARIFF FOR A BETTER CLASSIFICATION OR 3) CONTACT AN IMPORT SPECIALIST. ERROR MSG 15K, "DUTY COMPUTATION NOT PERFORMED" WILL ALSO BE GENERATED WITH MSG 14M.
370: ENTRY BELONGS TO ANOTHER DD/PP

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER SENDS AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION FOR AN ENTRY THAT WAS RELEASED (OR AT LEAST ACCEPTED) AT ANOTHER PORT. THE SELECTIVITY RECORD WILL SHOW THE PORT CODE ESTABLISHED BY THE FILER'S FIRST SUCCESSFUL ABI TRANSMISSION. IF THE FILER'S SUMMARY INPUT PORT CODE (10 REC, POS 4-7) DOES NOT MATCH THE PORT CODE ON THE SELECTIVITY RECORD, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. THIS ERROR WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A CARGO RELEASE TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT MATCH THE PORT CODE IN THE H1 REC, POS 4-7, TO THE PORT CODE SHOWN ON THE ENTRY MASTER FILE RECORD FROM THE FILER'S PRIOR TRANSMISSION. IF THE SELECTIVITY RECORD PORT CODE IS INCORRECT, THE FILER SHOULD FOLLOW LOCAL PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY WITH THE CORRECT PORT CODE ONCE THE SELECTIVITY RECORD HAS BEEN CHANGED. IF THERE IS AN ENTRY SUMMARY ON FILE, AND STILL IN ABI STATUS, THE FILER MAY DELETE THE SUMMARY AND RETRANSMIT IT WITH THE CORRECT PORT CODE.
2EE: DATABASE NOT UPDATED TEST MODE

THIS IS STANDARD OUTPUT MESSAGE THAT IS USED WHENEVER A FILER IS IN CARGO SELECTIVITY TESTING STATUS. IT INDICATES THAT WHILE THE DATA TRANSMITTED IS CORRECT AND ACCEPTABLE, THE ON-LINE FILES WILL NOT BE UPDATED BECAUSE THE FILER IS NOT IN OPERATIONAL STATUS.
VGX: INVALID FORMAT

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE FDA INTERFACE WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO SEND A QUERY OR AN ADD REQUEST FOR AN FDA ESTABLISHMENT NUMBER (FEI) IN THE PP TRANSACTION AND THE FORMAT OF THEIR QUERY IS INCORRECT. THIS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS BUT USUALLY INVOLVES TRYING TO FIT A FOREIGN ADDRESS INTO FIELDS THAT ONLY ACCEPT A US ADDRESS. IN MOST CASES, IT INVOLVES A PROGRAMMING PROBLEM IN THE FILERS SOFTWARE. PROPER FORMAT FOR THE PP TRANSACTION IS SHOWN ON PAGES OGQ 14-20 OF THE CATAIR.
1DB: VESSEL NAME REQUIRED

FOR OCEAN SHIPMENTS, MODE OF TRANSPORTATION 10 OR 11, THE NAME OF THE IMPORTING VESSEL IS REQUIRED. THIS IS TRANSMITTED IN THE 20 REC, POS 18-27 IN THE SUMMARY INPUT DATA (APPLICATION EI). IF THE VESSEL NAME IS NOT TRANSMITTED, THIS ERROR  MESSAGE WILL RESULT. UNLIKE THE CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION, USE OF THE VESSEL CODE (20 REC, POS 3-7) IS NOT BE PERMITTED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE VESSEL NAME IN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSMISSIONS.
FEC: CRITERA CANNOT BE DELETED

CRITERIA CANNOT BE DELETED TO THE PROD LIST .
VH3: FD 701 : ACTUAL SHPR ID REQUIRED

THERE ARE FIVE REQUIRED DATA ELEMENTS IN THE FDA INTERFACE. ONE IS THE FDA ACTUAL SHIPPER. IT IS REQUIRED TO BE SHOWN IN THE REC FD01, POS 63-77 (SEE CATAIR, PAGE OGA-28).THIS REJECT OCCURS WHEN NO MID IS TRANSMITTED. 
56F: ISSUER CODE REQUIRED

CARGO RELEASE INPUT TRANSACTIONS (APPLICATION HI) WHICH REPORT MODE OF TRANSPORTATION 10 OR 11 MUST ALSO REPORT A STANDARD CARRIER ALPHA CODE (SCAC). THIS ELEMENT IS TRANSMITTED IN THE HA, POS 70-73. IF THE ISSUER CODE IS OMITTED (ALL BLANKS IN THE FIELD), THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT. NOTE: IF THE ERROR DESCRIBED ABOVE IS CONTAINED WITHIN AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI), ERROR MESSAGE ADJ WILL BE GENERATED. AS OF MARCH 2000, THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS NOW SENT IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT THAT OMITS THE ISSUER CODE IN THE 22 REC, POS 70-73.
660: IMPORTER ON NAT'L SANCTION LIST

THIS ENTRY SHOULD BE REJECTED TO THE FILER. A DUTY PAID, "LIVE" ENTRY IS REQUIRED. IF A FILER RECEIVES THIS MESSAGE THROUGH ABI THERE IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT CAN BE PROVIDED TO ASSIST THE FILER IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. CLIENT REPS CAN CHECK THE ACS SYSTEM FOR SANCTION INFORMATION, INCLUDING A CONTACT AT THE NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER, AND BILL INFORMATION FOR ANY OUTSTANDING BILLS.
2B1: MODE OF TRANSPORTATION REQUIRED

THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION (MOT) IS REQUIRED TO BE SHOWN IN ALL FORMAL ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTIONS. THE MOT IS SENT IN THE 20 REC, POS 28-29. IF THE MOT IS LEFT BLANK, THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED. FOR INFORMAL ENTRIES AND FOR CARGO RELEASE INPUT TRANSACTIONS (APPLICATION IDENTIFIER HI), SEE ERROR MESSAGE 630.
2C1: BOND EXPIRED

A VALID BOND WAS ON FILE FOR IMPORTER, BUT IT HAS EXPIRED. NOTE: THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO OCCUR IF THE FILER USES A VALID BOND THAT IS NOT A TYPE 1 OR 1A1 (THE ONLY VALID BOND TYPES FOR IMPORTATIONS BY IMPORTERS). CLIENT REPS CAN CHECK THE BOND FILE TO DETERMINE WHAT TYPE BOND IS ON FILE FOR THE IMPORTER OF RECORD NUMBER. NOTE: IF THE PORT PROCESSING THE BOND DOES NOT COMPLETE THE UPDATE ACTION, AN ABI FILER TRANSMITTING AN ENTRY SUMMARY THAT REFERENCES AN 'INCOMPLETE' BOND WILL RECEIVE THIS ERROR MESSAGE AS WELL.
VLK: TOT IMPORT TRAILER COUNT INVALID

THIS DRAWBACK MODULE ERROR MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE SUM OF ALL THE DISKETTE 'IT' IMPORT TRAILER, 'CN' CONTRACT TRAILER, 'CM' IMPORT TRAILER, OR 'CI' CANADIAN IMPORT TRAILER RECORDS OR ABI 'D12', 'D30', 'D40', OR 'D50' RECORDS DOES NOT ADD UP TO WHAT THE COUNT IS IN THE 'CT CLAIM TRAILER' RECORD, OR ABI 'D90' RECORD. BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ADD UP ABI CANNOT KNOW WHETHER THE TOTAL COUNT IS SIMPLY WRONG, OR THE TOTAL COUNT IS RIGHT AND THERE ARE MISSING RECORDS. FOR RECONCILIATION, THE 'R90' TOTAL IMPORT TRAILER RECORD COUNT OF 'R20' RECORDS DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF 'R20' RECORDS GIVEN VIA THE ABI 'RA' TRANSACTION. IF THE R20 RECORD, POS 78-79 IS BLANK, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED, EVEN IF THE FIGURE IN THE R90 REC, POS 4-7, EQUALS THE NUMBER OF R20 RECORDS IN THE RECONCILIATION INPUT TRANSACTION.
95B: BOND AMOUNT MISSING/INVALID

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF A SINGLE TRANSACTION BOND IS OBLIGATED (A "9" IN POS 49 OF THE 10 REC), A 21 RECORD IS REQUIRED WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT TRANSMITTED IN POS 3-12 OF THE 21 RECORD. IF THIS FIELD IS LEFT BLANK OR CONTAINS ANY CHARACTERS OTHER THAN NUMERIC ONES, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. [NOTE - AS OF NOV 18, 1998, AN AMOUNT OF ZERO DOLLARS WAS ACCEPTED BY ABI IN THIS FIELD]
AR2: NOTIFY SUB DATA NOT APPLICABLE

NOTIFY SUBSTITUTE TYPE NOT APPLICABLE. 
AQF: ASSOC. CLAIM NBR NOT APPLIC.

WHEN PROTESTING DENIAL OF A 520(C) OR 520(D) CLAIM, THE USCS ASSIGNED PROTEST NUMBER OF THE DENIED CLAIM IS REQUIRED. THE DATE OF DENIAL OF THAT CLAIM CONSTITUTES THE START OF THE 90 DAY FILING & AMENDMENT PERIOD FOR THE PROTEST. THIS FIELD DOES NOT APPLY WHEN FILING 520(C) OR (D) PETITIONS OR 181.115 INTERVENTIONS.
VGC: FD 701: STORAGE STATUS INV

THERE ARE ONLY THREE ACCEPTABLE FDA STORAGE STATUSES (REC FD01, POS 15): "R" FOR REFRIGERATED, "F" FOR FROZEN AND "A" FOR AMBIENT. USE OF ANY OTHER LETTERS, NUMBERS OR CHARACTERS WILL RESULT IN THIS ERROR MESSAGE.
VHY: DT HS7: NHTSA RI NOT EFF FOR EDA

THE REGISTERED IMPORTER FILE LISTS ALL VALID REGISTERED IMPORTERS BY A SPECIFICALLY ASSIGNED NUMBER (RI NUMBER). EACH NUMBER ALSO HAS AN EFFECTIVE DATE, USUAL FOR ONE YEAR AT A TIME. IF THE RI NUMBER IS NOT IN EFFECT ON THE ESTIMATED DATE OF ARRIVAL AS TRANSMITTED BY THE FILER IN THE HI OR EI RECORDS, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT.
FDL: NO FDA RECORD ON FILE FOR ENTRY

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN A FDA INTERFACE SITUATION WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO SEND AN OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CORRECTION ('CP') TRANSACTION FOR AN ENTRY THAT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY A FDA INTERFACE ENTRY. TYPICALLY IT INVOLVES A FILER SENDING AN ENTRY WITH NO REGULATED FDA TARIFF NUMBERS ON IT THEN ATTEMPTING TO SEND A 'CP' WITH THE FDA REGULATED TARIFF NUMBER(S). THE ONLY SOLUTION IS FOR CUSTOMS TO DO A PEN AND INK CHANGE TO THE ENTRY OR TO HAVE CUSTOMS DELETE THE ENTRY AND THE FILER THEN RESENDS THE CORRECT INFORMATION.
RB5: R89, R21 FEE CLASSES INCONSISTENT

THIS MESSAGE MEANS THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THE FEE CLASS CODES GIVEN IN THE 'R89' RECORD(S) OF THE 'RA' RECON TRANSACTION DOES NOT EXIST ON ANY OF THE GIVEN 'R21' RECORDS VIA ABI.
20A: INVALID CARRIER CODE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTIONS. IF THE CARRIER CODE REPORTED IN THE 30 REC, POS 73-76, IS NOT ON THE CARRIER LIST FILE . THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE SUMMARY CONTAINS A CARGO CERTIFICATION REQUEST. THE CARRIER CODE FIELD MUST BE FOUR CHARACTERS. OCEAN SHIPMENTS MUST HAVE A FOUR CHARACTER STANDARD ALPHA CARRIER CODE (SCAC) IN THIS FIELD. AIR SHIPMENTS MUST HAVE A TWO CHARACTER IATA CODE (ALSO FOUND ON THE CARRIER CODE FILE) IN THE POS 73-74 OF THE 30 RECORD. NOTE: IF THE CARRIER CODE IS OMITTED ENTIRELY, ERROR MSG 2DF WILL BE GENERATED. NOTE - THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO GENERATE IF THE ENTRY USES AN AIR CARRIER CODE AND AN OCEAN PORT OF UNLADING CODE OR VICE VERSA.
