Response code 123 is a fatal error for when the conveyance name or carrier name is missing, and the mode of transportation requires the conveyance name to be reported. Census said the name of the transport conveyance must be reported for the major modes of transportation: vessel, air, rail and truck. The filer should verify the mode of transportation and the conveyance name or carrier name, correct the shipment and resubmit.
Response code 138 is another fatal error for when the port of unlading code is missing.
