The forwarder sent you a CSN reference card. Typing a 7-digit CSN number and its date again into your SAM is how error 164 happens.
In this film
- The card's CSN details — one line starting with PREVREF1
- Paste a CSN reference from a handover card: all 8 CSN reference details filled at once
- A typing mistake does not get through: the line ends with a check letter, so one wrong digit is stopped here, not rejected by customs
- What you still set yourself: the prior declaration flag and how the line is consolidated
