Attention Ocean, Rail, Truck, and ABI Software Developers
Shortly CBP will be instituting a new error code for a condition found in manifest and ABI transmissions. The condition is the presence of characters in the data that are not valid for CBP usage. The error code and definition are:
370 INVALID CHARACTER
This error code will be added to the Appendix H of the of the CAMIR with the wording:
370 INVALID CHARACTER
ANSI X12 segment or CAMIR record contains invalid characters. Valid characters are defined as:
!"#$%&'()+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[]^_`{|}~
This error code will be added to the Appendix S of the of the CATAIR with the wording:
370 INVALID CHARACTER
CATAIR record contains invalid characters. Valid characters are defined as:
!"#$%&'()+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[]^_`{|}~
If any character other than the ones indicated above appear in a transmission, a reject will occur.
We will inform the trade as implementation approaches. Trade users are encouraged to prepare to receive this error code and message.
