VGZ: FEI NOT FOUND ON ACS

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER QUERIES ABI TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN FDA ESTABLISHMENT NUMBER (FEI) IS ON FILE. ALL TWELVE NUMBERS MUST BE USED INCLUDING LEADING ZEROS. THE FILER USES THE FDPP-10 RECORD SHOWN ON PAGE OGQ-14 OF THE CATAIR WITH A "Q" IN THE ACTION CODE. THIS MESSAGE IS RETURNED WHEN THE FEI NUMBER QUERIED IS NOT FOUND IN ACS. A COMMON REASON IS BECAUSE THE FILER IS NOT QUERYING ALL 12 NUMBERS. THEY SHOULD RESEND THE QUERY USING ALL NUMBERS INCLUDING LEADING ZEROS.
VN4: D41 RECORD MUST CONTAIN DATA

THIS ERROR MESSAGE COULD BE THE RESULT OF A DRAWBACK OR ABI DRAWBACK PROBLEM. IT IS SAYING THEN WHEN CUSTOMS FORMATTED THE RECORDS FROM THE DISKETTE OR WHEN THE DATA WAS SENT VIA ABI, NO DATA WAS PRESENT IN THE GIVEN RECORD. IF THE DRAWBACK DISKETTE HAS NO DATA, THE PC PROGRAM SHOULD STOP IT BEFORE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DATA THERE, BUT IT WAS BAD DATA.

THIS MESSAGE ALSO OCCURRED IN AN ENTRY WHERE THE FILER SENT A '1' IN POSITION 7 EVEN THOUGH THE QUANTITY WAS LESS THAN 200.
4KN: TARIFF (1) INVALID FOR COUNTRY

ONE POSSIBLE REASON FOR THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS WHEN A NON-CBI COUNTRY IS USE THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (REC 50, POS 6-7) FOR HS NUMBER 9802008040 (REC 50,POS 4-13) SINCE THIS HS NUMBER IS RESTRICTED TO CBI COUNTRIES.

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.
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. AT THE TIME OF LIQUIDATION, THIS MESSAGE IS ALSO USED TO ALERT THE USER THAT A NAFTA RECONCILIATION IS DUE ON A TYPE '01', '02', OR '06' ENTRY, BUT HAS NOT YET BEEN FILED. THIS MESSAGE IS OVERRIDEABLE AT LIQUIDATION.

THESE ARE ELECTRONICALLY REPORTED (ELVIS) TO U.S. CUSTOMS AND, IF NOT ON FILE WHEN THE FILER TRANSMITS HIS DATA, WILL CAUSE THIS ERROR MESSAGE TO BE INVOKED.
VPL: IMPRT ENTRY NOT IN CUSTOMS STATUS

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. THE IMPORT ENTRY NUMBER, SENT IN THE D10 RECORD, POSITIONS 20-27 MUST BE RESIDENT ON THE ENTRY SUMMARY HEADER FILE.

VAL: FW 3-177: LICENSE NOT ON FILE

THE LICENSE NUMBER WHICH IS TRANSMITTED IN THE FW02 RECORD, POS 45-50 MUST BE RESIDENT IN THE FWL FILE. THE LICENSE NUMBER IS ISSUED BY FSW TO IMPORTERS IMPORT OVER $25,000 ANNUALLY OF MERCHANDISE THAT IS SUBJECT TO FWS. CUSTOMS DOES NOT TRACK CUMULATIVE VALUES. THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FWS. FWS UP- LOADS THE U.S. LICENSE INFORMATION TO ACS ONCE A WEEK. IF A FILER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED A U.S. LICENSE NUMBER AND ATTEMPTS TO TRANSMIT IT PRIOR TO THE UPLOAD, THEY SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE LOCAL FWS OFFICE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON CLEARING MERCHANDISE UNTIL THE LICENSE IS RESIDENT IN OUR DATA BASE. THERE ARE NO EDITS TO REQUIRE THE USER TO TRANSMIT THE LICENSE NUMBER, BUT IF A LICENSE NUMBER IS TRANSMITTED, THERE MUST BE AN EXACT MATCH WITH ONE OF THE LICENSE NUMBERS IN THE FWL FILE.
"42E: DATA REPLACED WITH WARNINGS

THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR WHEN THE FILER TRANSMITS ACTION CODE 'R' IN THE H1 RECORD, POSITION 3
VN8: FLR CANNOT VARY IN B=>Y BLOCK

THIS ERROR INDICATES THAT THE FILER CODE SENT ON THIS CLAIM OR CLAIMS DIFFERS FROM THAT OF THE FILER SENDING THE DATA. THIS ERROR RARELY OCCURS WITH THE DISKETTE, SINCE USCS IS SUBMITTING THE DATA FOR THE FILER. IT CAN OCCUR WITH ABI, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE A FILER MAY BE SENDING DATA FOR THEIR 3901 OFFICE AND INADVERTENTLY INCLUDES A 5301 OFFICE CLAIM. FOR RECONCILIATION, THIS MEANS THAT THE FILER IN THE 'B' RECORD DIFFERS FROM THE FILER IN THE 'R10' RECORD.
VP6: I.E. DATE INVALID

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. THE IE DATE IS SENT IN THE D03 RECORD, POSITIONS 16-21. THIS DATE MUST BE IN VALID MMDDYY FORMAT.

AAP: INVALID ADD/CVD CASE NUMBER

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN AN ABI FILER SENDS AN ANTIDUMPING OR COUNTERVAILING CASE NUMBER THAT IS INVALID. CASE NUMBERS ARE FORMATTTED AS FOLLOWS: A = ANTIDUMPING (OR C FOR COUNTERVAILING) CCC = CCC = FIRST THREE DIGITS OF THE COUNTRY CODE (FROM THE RFJ FILE). NNN = A SPECIFIC MANUFUCTURER WITHING THE CASE (OR 000 IF NOT SPECIFIC). IF, FOR EXAMPLE, A 'B' WAS SENT IN THE FIRST POSITION OR '###' WAS SENT IN THE NNN POSITIONS, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WOULD BE GENERATED.
739: ADDITIONAL TARIFF NBRS REQUIRED

THERE CAN BE SEVERAL CAUSES FOR THIS ERROR MESSAGE. IN GENERAL, THE MESSAGE INDICATES THAT ANOTHER TARIFF NUMBER IS A REQUIRED ASSOCIATION WITH THE ENTRY LINE TARIFF NUMBER IN QUESTION (50 REC, POS 3-14). SOME COMMON EXAMPLES ARE: -- 98020040, 50, 60, OR 80 WITHOUT A SECOND TARIFF NUMBER WHICH DESCRIBES THE ARTICLE BEING REPAIRED, ALTERED,OR ASSEMBLED. -- SOME WEARING APPAREL ENSEMBLES WHICH REQUIRE THE ACTUAL ARTICLE OF CLOTHING IN ADDITION TO THE ENSEMBLE HTS. -- WATCHES/CLOCKS, IN WHICH THE MOVEMENT, CASE, BAND, AND BATTERY MAY BE REQUIRED. -- TIB TARIFF NUMBERS IN CHAPTER 9813, WHICH REQUIRE THE IMPORTED ARTICLE'S TARIFF NUMBER.
AFR: STMT BRANCH/BROKER MISMATCH

THIS MESSAGE OCCCURS WHEN A FILER SENDS A STATEMENT BRANCH CODE IN POSITIONS 49-50 OF THE EI 20 RECORD ALONG WITH A STATEMENT INDICATOR AND STATEMENT DATE BUT THE BRANCH CODE HAS NOT BEEN SET TO OPERATIONAL IN THE ABE FILE. ALSO, IF THE FILER HAS BEEN SET TO 'Y' FOR BRANCH ON THE ABI RPOFILE RECORD, BUT THEN NEGLECTS TO INCLUDE A BRANCH DESIGNATION IN THE 20 RECORD (POS 49-50), THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR. IN A RECONILIATION ENTRY, THE R17 REC, POS 11-12, MUST REFLECT A CLIENT BRANCH DESIGNATION IF THE ABEI RECORD IS SET TO 'Y' FOR THIS FEATURE. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO OCCUR IF THE FILER USES THE 'STATEMENT ADD/DELTE' APPLICATION (HP) AND SENDS BRANCH DESIGNATION IN POS 25-26.
10U: RECORD NOT FOUND

FILERS WHO USE APPLICATION HI TO TRANSMIT CARGO RELEASE DATA MAY USE BOND TYPE CODE "8" (CONTINUOUS BOND) OR "9" (SINGLE TRANSACTION BOND). BOND TYPES ARE TRANSMITTED IN THE H1 REC, POS 40.
