CSN rejected by ICEGATE? Read the ACK, fix the value, file again (error 118)

In this film

• The rejected filing, kept exactly as it was sent
• What customs said — error 118, the combination of cargo type, movement, consolidation and prior declaration — with the four values quoted back out of your own file
• Which half of the pair is wrong: cargo cleared in India stays IM; cargo that only passes through to a foreign port is TR, and TR takes TC
• What customs never checked: it stops at the first failing record
• Refile: the corrected copy, what customs rejected marked on the block it names, the one value changed
• The checklist: nothing red left, one amber character typed plain — and Sign & upload as attempt 2, same job, new upload number
