Update to the Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements – Appendix A has been posted to CBP.gov.

Response Code: 26C

Narrative Text: USPPI ADDRESS STATE CODE INCORRECT

Severity: COMPLIANCE ALERT

Proprietary Record/Data Elements: Input SC1 Record/U.S. State of Origin; Input N03 Record/USPPI State Code

X.12 Segment ID/Data Elements: BA108, N402 when N101 = EX

Reason: The USPPI Address, which is the address of origin includes an incorrect State Code because it differs from the U.S. State of Origin Code.

Resolution: Report the USPPI Address as the location from which the goods actually begin the journey to the port of export as defined in section 30.6(a)(1)(ii) and 30.6(a)(4) of the Foreign Trade Regulations. The State in the USPPI Address, when reported correctly shall match the U.S. State of Origin Code. Any reporting errors must be corrected and retransmitted.
