Code 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING’ and 007 ‘HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E or D’ are currently set to ‘INFORMATIONAL’.
Severity will be changed to ‘FATAL’ in approximately 30 days from CSMS issuance date.

Code 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING’
A forwarding agent party must be reported in the Automated Export System (AES) Electronic Export Information (EEI) when the filer Id Type (E=EIN, D=DUNS) reported in the EEI does not match the USPPI ID Type (E=EIN, D=DUNS, T=Foreign Entity). If the Filer ID Type does not match the USPPI ID Type, AES will treat these as different parties and generate a AES response code: 227 Forwarding Agent Party Missing.

Code 007 ‘HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E or D’
ACE Electronic Export Information (AES) is now correctly validating for AESTIR commodity filing
error message ‘007 HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E OR D’ in the X12 messages. Software vendors should update their software to send the correct value of the FilerID type: X.12 Segment ID/Data Elements: ISA05 : 01 (D), 24 (E).

For additional format details please refer to the ANSI X-12: 601 Export Shipment Information or CBP Proprietary Format. You may test your Electronic Export Information (EEI) in the certification environment.
