Customs rejected your export — read the ACK file and fix it

In this film

• 159 — a straight bill that covers a shipping bill and names no PCIN.
• 383 and 384 — the same PCIN on a bill and on the line under it. Each shipping bill's PCIN goes on exactly one line.
• 225 — the bill's packages are not the total of its lines'.
• 709 — the items do not add up to the line.
• 239 with 381 — a line that lists none of the bill's containers.
• 53 — a net weight of zero.
