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 this month.

Narrative: Commodity Line Item Missing

Reason: No commodity line items were included in the shipment.   

Resolution:  At least one commodity line item must be included in the shipment.

Verify the commodity line information, correct the shipment and resubmit.   

  

Narrative: Quantity 1 Must Be Greater Than Zero

Reason: The Schedule B/ HTS Number reported requires a Quantity 1 to be reported and Quantity 1 is missing. 

Resolution: Report a Quantity 1 greater than zero.

Verify the Quantity 1, correct the shipment and resubmit.
