Tag name | Element name | Validation Code & Description | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|
DeclarationAdditionalDocument | Declaration Additional Document | CDS12125 DAN Error: Account number is not recognised; or Account is suspended or revoked, or Parties declared on the declaration do not have authority to use account number provided. | This refers to the deferment account number visible in Declaration > Other Details > Additional Document and is either because of the reasons provided, or most commonly because the EORI of the deferment account owner is incorrect in Shipment(s) > Shipment View/Edit > Importer > ID. |
Type Code …or Category Code | CDS10001 Obligation error: obligation rule not met | This can sometimes appear if a user edits or adds an ‘Additional Document’ within the declaration items without properly setting the ‘Import Certificate’ field. In this case the record disappears from the screen but is still sent in the message to customs, please contact support if you have this issue for the record to be manually removed. This will be fixed in an upcoming version of Bond to prevent this from happening, reference VB-1290. | |
DeclarationExporter | Address Line …or… CityName …or… PostcodeID …or… Country Type | CDS10001 Obligation error: obligation rule not met | This means that the field has been omitted and must be provided, the ‘Tag name’ will indicate where this is missing, ‘DeclarationExporter’ can be found by clicking ‘Declaration’ tab followed by ‘Exporter/Declarant/Agent’ and looking at the ‘Exporter’ fields. |
DeclarationGoodsShipmentImporter | Goods shipment importer | CDS12005 Authorization error: invalid Party ID | This indicates that the ID provided (usually the EORI) is invalid. 'Goods shipment importer' means you have to click the ‘Shipment(s)’ tab > top (Shipments) grid click View/Edit > modify the ‘Importer’ information. |
DeclarationGoodsShipmentItemCommodity | Classification | CDS40011 Missing additional code:[X***] | This suggests that the stock was receipted with an invalid tax / commodity code combination. Click ‘Shipment(s)’ tab, bottom (Items) grid click View/Edit > using the ‘Nom Classif ID’ (Commodity Code), check in the https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/sections ‘Imports’ section for that commodity code what the permitted ‘Excise additional codes' (tax codes) are. Either the ‘Nom Classif ID', 'TARIC Classif ID’ or 'Classif ID' will need to be amended. If the message returned is “Missing additional code: [VATZ]” in this scenario ‘VATZ’ needs to be added within Declaration > Shipment > Items > Commodity > Classif ID along with a Classification Type, for example VATZ with classification type ‘TRA’. This must not be used for customs duty payments. It is for use with excise products however. |
CDS40013 Invalid nomenclature codes | In this case check Declaration > Shipment > Items > Commodity Nom Classif ID & TARIC Classif ID (combined) is correct by checking the tariff. | ||
CDS40045 Missing document | Indicates that the commodity being submitted requires an entry in the Declaration > Shipment > Items > Additional Document section. Refer to the online tariff, search for the commodity being declared (Nom Classif ID + TARIC Classif ID e.g. 04049021 + 00 = 0404902100), if the declaration is Trade Movement Type ‘IM’ then click the ‘Imports’ tab and look for any ‘Conditions’ which will explain the documents required and their codes. For example 0404902100 veterinary controls shows a condition for document N853. If a code is mentioned which we don’t have in the system then contact support to have it added. Refer: /wiki/spaces/VSKB/pages/1306099733 This same section of the tariff also mentions the document status codes which are permitted for the document which can be entered into the LPCO Exemption Code field within the ‘Additional Document’ record. | ||
DeclarationGoodsShipmentItemAdditionalDocument | AdditionalDocument | Missing Preference Certificate | This rejection can occur when using a GSP preference and you don’t have U164 / 5 / 6 / 7 listed as an import certificate within the Declaration > Goods Shipment Item > Additional Document section. If you have N954 listed, this is incorrect and cannot be used for GSP so remove and replace with one of the codes above along with it’s relevant ID. Alternatively add the document code above in as an additional document. |
