ACE Ocean 08 – How can common error codes in AMS be resolved?

Continuous bonds to CBP (U.S. Customs) do not have an expiration date. They are valid until terminated (or CBP placing the bond into insufficient status).

The insurance company requires an annual payment of premium charge. If not paid, the surety would release termination of the bond.

If paid, a new bond is not issued each year. The only way to verify if a bond is in force is to run a query with CBP (U.S. Customs). Such a query would verify if the bond is in force as of that date.

Code Description
009 INVALID CARRIER CODE
User should provide a valid carrier code registered with CBP
