Introduction
The eTIR internation system is based on web services that are exchanged between the different stakeholders. The messages exchanged using these web services are specified and used according to the rules detailed in the eTIR Specifications. When the eTIR internation system receives and processes a message, it performs a series of validation on the message itself, on the context of related guarantee, holder or transport and issues a response to the system which has sent the message in the first place. If anything goes wrong during these validation and processing steps, an error is sent back in the reponse. This error is presented as an Error code with a Pointer which can be used to point towards a specific field of the message. The list of all error codes is available in the Code List 99 and is also reproduced on this page for ease of reference, and as a living document, representing the latest version of these codes.
Specifications of the Error Codes
- This list of error codes is specific to eTIR as it allows IT teams to better understand errors while implementing the interconnection to the eTIR international system. This should result in a faster implementation overall and more accurate responses to errors from the system sending messages to the eTIR international system.
- Furthermore, a detailed error code system will also greatly simplify the communication between the stakeholders and the Help Desk of the TIR Secretariat, in case of issue, to identify and correct the underlying issue.
- The list of error codes is based on best practices from the IT industry. Like the list of HTTP status codes, all error codes have three digits, and the first digit of the status code defines the class of response:
- 1XX - Validation: validation of the message and if its parameters
- 2XX - Workflow: workflow related errors
- 3XX - Functional: other functional errors
- 4XX - Internal: eTIR international system internal errors
- 5XX - Customs: errors raised by Customs
- Each class of response has a default error code which indicates at least the class of the error if it cannot be more precise.
List of error codes
In the following list, the following terms are used:
- Message: An XML message
- Field: An XML element or attribute
- Value: The value mentioned in an XML element or attribute
