The rejection “BL Already on File” could mean two things.
A. The manifest with the shipment was sent twice.
Resolution:
- Contact CBP Help Desk to check if the SCN (current filing) exists on their record and verify the shipment and manifest details.
- If the shipment is on file, then ask for support’s assistance to set the shipment status to Accepted (backend).
B. The shipment control number was already used.
Resolution:
- Provide another shipment control number.
- Change the existing SCN.
- Save the shipment.
- Save the manifest.
- Resubmit as ADD.
NOTE: Make sure to inform the Broker of the new SCN.
