SUBJECT: IMPORTANT PRIOR NOTICE ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES
PRIOR NOTICE REJECTS
SOME RECENT TEMPORARY PROGRAMMING ISSUES HAVE MADE THE PREVENTION
OF PRIOR NOTICE REJECTS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS
MESSAGE IS TO REVIEW THE CAUSES OF THE REJECTS AND THE ABI
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES THAT WERE ISSUED TO PREVENT THOSE REJECTS.
1. REJECT "F" FOREIGN-BASED CONSIGNEE
A FOREIGN-BASED CONSIGNEE SHOULD NEVER BE SENT. THIS SUBJECT IS
COVERED IN ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 04-2525. THIS MESSAGE EXPLAINS THE
ONLY SCENARIO IN WHICH A FBC CAN BE SENT WITHOUT GENERATING A REJECT.
THIS REJECT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING TO CORRECT.
2. THE 'N' REJECT OTHER REASON- CALL FDA NO BOL/AWB SENT
THE 'N" REJECT IS GENERATED WHEN THE AFFIRMATION OF 'BOL' FOR
BILL OF LADING (OTHER THAN AIR) OR AWB (AIR) IS NOT SENT AS AN
AFFIRMATION OF COMPLIANCE. ONE OR THE OTHER IS REQUIRED DEPENDING ON
THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS COVERED IN ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE
04-2375
3. THE "P" REJECT PRIOR NOTICE REQUIRED
THIS REJECT IS MOST OFTEN GENERATED WHEN THE FILER DISCLAIMS A
FD3 CODED TARIFF NUMBER. IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN ON TARIFF NUMBERS CODES
FD1, FD2 OR WITH NO CODE AT ALL. THIS IS BECAUSE FDA HAS EDITS ON
CERTAIN FDA PRODUCT CODES. SEE ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 04-0586 AND
04-2171.
4. THE "C" REJECT INVALID PNC NUMBER
THIS NUMBER IS GENERATED WHEN THE PRIOR NOTICE CONFIRMATION
NUMBER (PNC) IS NOT ON FILE. THE MOST COMMON REASON IS MIS-TYPING THE
NUMBER. FILERS SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL TO SEND VALID PNC NUMBERS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE REJECTS OR ADMINISTRATIVE
MESSAGES PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE OR CLIENT
