Tips on How to Resolve AES Fatal Errors

Fatal Error Response Code: 120

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fatal Error Response Code: 123

 

 

 

 

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.

Narrative:    Carrier Unknown

Reason:    The Carrier ID (SCAC/IATA) reported is not known in AES.

Resolution: For vessel, rail or truck shipments the carrier must be identified with an active SCAC code issued by the National Motor Freight Traffic (NMFTA).  For air shipments, the carrier must be identified with an active IATA code issued by the International Air Transport Association.                       

If the Carrier ID (SCAC/IATA) as known at the time of filing is not valid in AES and a valid Carrier ID (SCAC/IATA) cannot be obtained from the carrier, as a last resort, report the Carrier ID as UNKN for vessel, rail or truck shipments.  For an unknown air carrier, report one of the acceptable "unknown" codes as follows:

*F or 99F for Unknown Foreign Air Carrier                             *U or 99U for Unknown U.S. Air Carrier                                    *C or 99C for Unknown Canadian Air Carrier                             **or 99O for flyway aircraft reported under Chapter 88.

Verify the Mode of Transportation Code and the Carrier ID (SCAC/IATA), correct the shipment and resubmit.

Narrative:     Conveyance Name Missing

Reason:         The Conveyance Name was not reported.

Resolution: The name of the transport conveyance must be reported for the major transport modes (vessel, air, rail, and truck).  For vessel shipments, report the name of the vessel.  For air, rail and truck shipments report the carrier name.   

Verify the Mode of Transportation Code and the Conveyance Name/ Carrier Name, correct the shipment and resubmit.     

For a complete list of Fatal Error Response Codes, their reasons, and resolutions, see Appendix A - Commodity Filing Response Messages.

It is important that AES filers correct Fatal Errors as soon as they are received in order to comply with the Foreign Trade Regulations. These errors must be corrected prior to export for shipments filed predeparture and as soon as possible for shipments filed postdeparture, but not later than ten calendar days after departure.
