report_problemTop Thailand Customs Rejection Reasons (and how we prevent them)
Generic description ("goods", "parts", "clothing")
Fix: Generator blocks vague terms; enforces material + use + identity per 19 CFR 141.86
Missing or invalid HS Code
Fix: Syntactic validation (6-10 digits); chapter lookup helper; blocks non-numeric
Value declared as $0
Fix: Hard block: unit value must be > 0 on every line
Missing/invalid Tax ID on buyer
Fix: Validates Tax ID format per {country.name} rules
Weight mismatch: CI vs Packing List vs AWB
Fix: Cross-document validation at blocking level — all three must match
Incoterms missing or vague ("FOB" without port)
Fix: Controlled vocabulary (11 Incoterms 2020); requires named place
FTA claimed without proper certification
Fix: USMCA certification generated as SEPARATE document (UPS requirement); EUR.1/origin statement for EU
