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: 123
– Narrative: Conveyance Name Missing
– Reason: The Conveyance Name/ Carrier Name is missing when the Mode of Transportation reported is one that requires the Conveyance Name/ Carrier Name to be reported.
– Resolution: The Conveyance Name / Carrier Name must be reported for Vessel, Air, Rail, and Truck shipments. For Vessel shipments, report the name of the vessel. For Air, Rail, and Truck shipments, report the name of the carrier. Verify the Mode of Transportation Code and Conveyance Name/ Carrier Name, correct the shipment and resubmit.
Fatal Error Response Code: 133
– Narrative: Port of Export Must Be An Air Port
– Reason: The Port of Exportation Code reported is not allowed for air shipments.
– Resolution: The Port of Exportation Code reported must accommodate the mode of transport reported in the shipment. See Appendix D, Export Port Codes for a list of acceptable Port of Exportation Codes and their corresponding modes of transportation. Verify the Port of Exportation Code and Mode of Transportation Code combination, correct the shipment and resubmit.
