AN FDA ESTABLISHMENT IDENTIFIER (FEI) NUMBER IS A TWELVE-DIGIT NUMBER THAT IDENTIFIES A DOMESTIC LOCATION (ADDRESS) OF AN FDA IMPORTER OR DOMESTIC CLIENT. THESE NUMBERS ARE CREATED IN THE FDA INTERFACE BY FILERS REQUESTING, THROUGH ABI TO FDA, A NUMBER FOR A DOMESTIC LOCATION. THE REQUEST IS MOST OFTEN MADE WHEN THE FILER HAS SENT A FOREIGN-BASED CONSIGNEE AND HAS RECEIVED AN FDA REJECT. THE FEI NUMBER, IF USED, IS SENT IN REC FD03, POS 15-26 AND MUST CONTAIN 12 NUMERIC CHARACTERS. THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE IS TO OMIT THE FIRST TWO ZEROS AND TRANSMIT ONLY TEN NUMBERS.

VGZ: FEI NOT FOUND ON ACS

IN THE INPUT RECORDS, THE XA RECORD CONTAINS A FIELD FOR THE DDPP OF THE SUMMARY FOR WHICH AN EXTENSION IS BEING REQUESTED. (POS 3-6). IF THAT FIELD IS LEFT BLANK, THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED. NOTE: THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO OCCUR IF THE PORT CODE FIELD IN THE XA RECORD IS NOT IDENTICAL TO THE PORT OF ENTRY FOR THE ENTRY BEING EXTENDED.

FOR THESE TARIFF NUMBERS, THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN CANNOT BE HONG KONG BUT THE VISA MUST CONTAIN HK AS THE ISO CODE IN THE 2ND AND 3RD POSITIONS OF THE VISA NUMBER (REC 51, POS 11-19). IF THE VISA IS CORRECT BUT THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IS TRANSMITTED WITH HK (REC 40, POS 6-7) THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.
EIV: UNIT, PERCENT, OR QUANTITY REQ

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). IF AN ALLOWANCE OR CHARGE (DUTIABLE OR NONDUTIABLE) IS INDICATED BY THE PRESENCE OF ONE OF THE SIX VALID INDICATORS IN THE C17 REC, POS 4, THE FILER MUST SPECIFY THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE ALLOWANCE OR CHARGE IS MADE. THE C17 RECORD MUST, THEREFORE, HAVE ONE, AND ONLY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING COMBINATION OF FIELDS PRESENT: 1) RATE/UNIT + UNIT PRICE BASIS + UNIT OF MEASURE OR 2) ALLOWANCE/CHARGE PERCENT OR 3) UNIT OF MEASURE + ALLOWANCE/CHARGE QUANTITY. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE COMBINATION OF ELEMENTS IS NOT TRANSMITTED IN THE C17 RECORD, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THE SAME LOGIC APPLIES TO THE C51 RECORD.
Q43: STATEMENT ALREADY PD VIA ACH

THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT IF A FILER ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE AN ENTRY FROM A STATEMENT FOR WHICH THE ACH PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION TRANSACTION (APPLICATION QN) HAS ALREADY BEEN RECORDED IN ACS. FILERS WILL OFTEN SEND APPLICATION HP (STATEMENT ADD/DELETE) AT OR ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY TRANSMIT THE ACH PAYMENT. IF BOTH ARE RECEIVED SIMULTANEOUSLY, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE ACH TRANSACTION WILL BE PROCESSED PRIOR TO THE STATEMENT ADD/DELETE. IN SUCH A CASE, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE THE RESULT.
AES: ERROR IN A 32 REC;RLSE 6

THIS MESSAGE FOLLOWS A MORE SPECIFIC ERROR MESSAGE (I.E. "1F5 RELEASE NOT ON FILE") IN A CONSOLIDATE ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMISSION. IT NOTIFIES THE FILER THAT THE ERROR IS IN THE SIXTH RELEASE IN THE 32 RECORD.

361: IT CHECK DIGIT ERROR

THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT IF AN AIR WAYBILL NUMBER OR A CONVENTIONAL INBOND NUMBER (9 NUMERIC) IS TRANSMITTED WITH AN INCORRECT CHECK DIGIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRANSMITTING FILER TO CONFIRM WHETHER THE ERROR IS IN THE CHECK DIGIT ITSELF OR IN ONE OF THE PRECEDING DIGITS. NOTE: IF THE CHECK DIGIT ERROR OCCURS ON A PAPERLESS MASTER INBOND NUMBER (THOSE STARTING WITH "V"), ERROR MESSAGE 2CI WILL BE GENERATED. THE AMS SYSTEM WILL ACCEPT A TRANSMISSION WITH AN INCORRECT CHECK DIGIT. CHECK AMS FOR THE BILL OF LADING OR IN-BOND NUMBER. IF IT IS IN AMS, YOUR ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE CAN RUN THE NUMBER THROUGH THE CHECK DIGIT CALCULATOR. IF AMS HAS THE INCORRECT CHECK DIGIT, ADVISE THE AMS CARRIER TO CORRECT AND RE-TRANSMIT WITH THE PROPER CHECK DIGIT.
