ABI Error Message

SBO: MUST BE A "Y" OR "N"

THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT IF AN ABI TRANSACTION IS SENT WITH A FIELD THAT REQUIRES A YES (Y) OR NO (N) INDICATOR FOR THE AFFECTED FIELD. AN EXAMPLE IS A RECONCILIATION ENTRY (TYPE 09) FOR WHICH THE FILER MUST INDICATE IF THE ENTRY IS AN AGGREGATE ENTRY (AGGREGATE INDICATOR = Y) OR AN ENTRY BY ENTRY RECONCILIATION (AGGREGATE INDICATOR =N). IF ANY OTHER CHARACTER IS USED IN SUCH A FIELD, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT
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.
VHU: DT HS7: INVALID YEAR

THE DT02 REC, POS 35-38 MUST REFLECT THE FOUR-DIGIT YEAR. ANY YEAR NOT IN THE RANGE FROM 1901 THROUGH 2099, INCLUSIVE, WILL GENERATE THIS ERROR MESSAGE.

THE SCHEDULED PAY DATE FOR AN ABI STATEMENT CANNOT BE A SATURDAY, SUNDAY, NATIONAL HOLIDAY OR LOCAL HOLIDAY.
999: DB ERROR HAS OCCURRED

THIS MESSAGE TELLS US THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACS DATABASE, OR THAT SOMETHING CAUSED THE PROGRAM TO "BLOW UP. "DRAWBACK DISKS WILL ONLY BE REJECTED FOR THIS ERROR AFTER  USCS HAS RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM TO DETERMINE IF IT IS DISK RELATED. ABI WILL REJECT THE DATA TRANSMISSION.
4NF: NAME/ADDRESS RECORD NOT FOUND

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE 'KN' IMPORTER ADDRESS QUERY WHEN A FILER SENDS A NAME AND ADDRESS THAT IS NOT IN THE IMPORTER FILE. A COMMON MISTAKE IS A MISSPELLING OF THE CITY NAME (E.G. LAS VEGASAS).
40K: SPI INVALID FOR EXP COUNTRY

SPECIAL PROGRAM INDICATORS, LISTED IN THE CATAIR ON PAGES ENS-48 AND 49 MAY NOT BE VALID FOR ALL PROGRAMS FOR ALL COUNTRIES. FOR EXAMPLE, ECUADOR IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE ANDEAN PREFERENCE PROGRAM (SPI "J"), BUT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE CARRIBEAN PREFERENCE PROGRAM (SPI "E"). THEREFORE, AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION THAT USED CODE "E" WITH ISO CODE "EC" AS THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT WOULD RECEIVE THIS ERROR MESSAGE.
27J: *CENSUS* OR-AGR CHARGES/VALUE

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED ON ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACATIONS WHEN THE LINE ITEM CHARGES (40 REC, POS 48-57) DIVIDED BY THE LINE ITEM VALUE (40 REC, POS 8-17) EXCEED A STATED PERCENTAGE. IF THE RATIO BETWEEN THE CHARGES AND VALUE EXCEEDS THE PERCENTAGE SHOWN ON TARIFF/CENSUS DATABASE BY MORE THAN 300 PERCENT, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. (EXAMPLE: VALUE IS $400 FOR TARIFF 8541402000 AND THE CHARGES ARE $100. THIS IS A 25% RATIO. THE RECORD FOR THE TARIFF NUMBER SHOWS 7% AS THE UPPER LIMIT. 7% OF $400 IS $28. 300% OF THIS FIGURE WOULD BE $84. THEREFORE, CHARGES FROM $1 TO $84 WOULD NOT GENERATE THIS WARNING MESSAGE, BUT CHARGES OF $85 OR HIGHER WOULD.) FOR SHIPMENTS BY AIR, THE CHARGES IS SOMETIMES COMPARED TO THE GROSS WEIGHT (40 REC, POS18-27) AND THIS MESSAGE COULD BE GENERATED EVEN IN A CASE WHERE THE CHARGES/VALUE RATIO WAS BELOW 300% OF THE VALUE.
ASW: JUSTIFICATION/ARGS REJECTED

JUSTIFICATION/ARGUMENTS REJECTED. THIS MESSAGE WILL USUALLY BE ACCOMPANIED BY ANOTHER MESSAGE THAT INDICATES WHY THE JUSTIFICATION IS NOT APPROPRIATE EXAMPLE, IF ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS ARE SUBMITTED VIA APPLICATION SJ (SERVICEREQUEST), NO ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS WILL BE PERMITTED IF THE PROTEST IN QUESTION HAS BEEN REFERRED FOR FURTHER REVIEW. ERROR MESSAGE "ASN" WILL MOST LIKELY ACCOMPANY THIS ERROR MESSAGE IN SUCH A CASE. 
VAL: FW 3-177: LICENSE NOT ON 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.

IF A VALID DOCUMENT IDENTIFIER (SEE APPENDIX B OF THE CATAIR) IS TRANSMITTED IN POS 4-6, POS 7-41 CANNOT BE BLANK.  
VBG: FW 3-177: INVLD COMN NAME GENERAL

IF XXXX IS USED AS THE SPECIES CODE IN REC FW01, POS 5-8, THE COMMON NAME GENERAL (REC FW02, POS 23-40) IS MANDATORY. THE COMMON NAME SPECIFIC (REC FW02 POS 5-22) AND THE SCIENTIFIC NAME GENUS (REC FW01, POS 9-26) ARE ALSO MANDATORY WHEN XXXX IS USED AS THE SPECIES CODE.
512: TOTAL CVD DOES NOT MATCH EST.

IF THE TOTAL COUNTERVAILING DUTY REPORTED ON EACH LINE OF THE SUMMARY IN THE 60 RECORD IS WITHIN $2.99 (PLUS OR MINUS) OF THE CORRECT CALCULATED AMOUNT OF THE LINE, ABI WILL ACCEPT THE LINE AMOUNT. HOWEVER, IF THE SUMMARY HAS MORE THAN ONE LINE WITH COUNTERVAILING DUTY DUE, THE GRAND TOTAL OF ALL COUNTERVAILING DUTY AMOUNTS MUST ALSO BE WITHIN $2.99 (PLUS OR MINUS) OF THE SYSTEM-CALCULATED AMOUNT. EVEN IF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF COUNTERVAILING DUTY (90 REC, POS 27-37) IS EQUAL TO THE VARIOUS LINE AMOUNT TOTALS, ABI WILL REJECT THE SUMMARY IF THE TOTAL AMOUNT TRANSMITTED IS NOT WITHIN THE STATED TOLERANCE AS COMPARED TO THE CALCULATED TOTAL COUNTERVAILING DUTY AMOUNT.

EDIFACT SYNTAX ERROR. THE BGM (BEGINNING OF MESSAGE) SEGMENT IS MISSING. 
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.
DE5: CONTRACT NUMBER NOT FOUND

THIS MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE CONTRACT NUMBER SENT IN THE DRAWBACK MODULE WAS NOT ON FILE IN ACS. IN MOST CASES, THE FILER WILL PROBABLY HAVE USED AN OLD NUMBER, NOT ONE OF THE NEW CONTRACT NUMBERS.

THE REJECTED TARIFF NUMBER IS NOT IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE WHEN COMPARED TO THE OTHER TARIFF NUMBERS REPORTED FOR THIS LINE ON THE ENTRY. IF THE REJECTED LINE INVOLVES CHARPER 98 OR 99 TARIFF NUMBERS, THOSE NUMBERS ARE REPORTED BEFORE THE CHAPTER 1-97 NUMBERS. FOR WATCHES, THE TARIFF NUMBERS SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPORTED FOR THE MOVEMENT/ CASE/BATTERY/BAND IN THAT ORDER. IN MOST CASES, THE TARIFF NUMBERS WILL BE IN NUMBERICAL ORDER, BUT FOR TARIFF NUMBER 9102128010 (MOVEMENT/CASE), 9102128020 (BATTERY) AND 9102124000 (BAND), THE NUMBERS MUST BE REPORTED IN THE ORDER SHOWN HERE.
