Tips on How to Resolve AES Fatal Errors

September 17, 2015

=============

When a shipment is filed to the AES, a system response message is generated and indicates whether the shipment has been accepted or rejected.  If the shipment is accepted, the AES filer receives an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation.  However, if the shipment is rejected, a Fatal Error notification is received. 

To help you resolve AES Fatal Errors, here are some tips on how to correct the most frequent errors that were generated in AES for this month.

Fatal Error Response Code: 110

Narrative: State of Origin Unknown

Reason:  The U.S. State of Origin indicated is not valid in AES.    

Resolution: The U.S. State of Origin Code must be a valid two-character U.S. state, territory, or possession code (i.e., any USPS code).    

Verify the State of Origin, correct the shipment and resubmit.    

Fatal Error Response Code: 146

Narrative:  US to PR Requires PR Port of Unlading

Reason:  The Port of Unlading Code reported is not a port in Puerto Rico.   

Resolution: A valid Port of Unlading Code must be reported for all vessel and air shipments between the U.S. and Puerto Rico.  

Verify the Port of Unlading and/or Mode of Transportation, correct the shipment and resubmit.
