The full CSN form and its live checklist: one list of everything left, each item saying why in customs' own terms, and a click away from its field.
In this film
- Red: the values customs has refused on record — Sign & upload will not send a filing with any of them
- Amber: worth a look, never a refusal — values customs has refused and accepted too
- Three red ones fixed from the list: a master bill flagged H (056), a notify party coded IEC instead of PAN (045), a UN number with a trailing space (032)
- Nothing red left — only amber
- Essentials (just what customs requires, plus anything filled) and Advanced (every field of the message)
- Sign & upload runs the same checks again first
