EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1993, THE PORT OF UNLADING WILL BE CHECKED AGAINST
THE CUSTOMS PORT CODE FILE. THIS FILE CONTAINS MANY ADMINISTRATIVE PORT
CODES, SEVERAL OF WHICH ARE NOT CONSIDERED VALID PORTS OF UNLADING.
IN ORDER FOR CUSTOMS TO PROPERLY TRACK AND REPORT STATISTICAL DATA, WE
WILL ONLY ACCEPT "VALID" PORT CODES AS THE PORT OF UNLADING FOR ABI
ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMISSIONS.
THE EXTRACT REFERENCE QUERY MAY BE USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER SPECIFIC
PORT CODES ARE VALID PORTS OF UNLADING. THE EXTRACT REFERENCE QUERY WILL
RETURN EITHER A "1" (VALID) OR A "0" (INVALID) IN POSITION 75 OF THE F101
OUTPUT RECORD.
WHEN AN INVALID PORT OF UNLADING IS TRANSMITTED IN POSITIONS 30-33 OF THE
ABI 20 RECORD, THE ENTRY SUMMARY WILL BE REJECTED WITH AN "INVALID PORT OF
UNLADING" MESSAGE RETURNED TO THE FILER.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO YOUR ABI CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE.
