CUR FAQ
Questions users ask after seeing this error
What does CUR mean?
The currency code is not recognised or does not match the declared invoice currency.
Can I refile after fixing this error?
Refiling depends on the transaction. First confirm whether the original submission failed, is pending, or already created an acknowledgement.
Who should resolve this issue?
Importer / Exporter / CHA should review the relevant source record or system step.
Is this always an ICEGATE system problem?
No. The cause may be source data, a carrier filing, GST or bank validation, DSC setup, user access, Customs processing, or the ICEGATE service.
Should I contact Customs?
Contact Customs when the record is waiting for officer action, assessment, approval, or a customs query. Technical and source-data issues should go to the responsible team first.
How long does resolution usually take?
There is no fixed time. A local data or DSC issue may be corrected quickly, while carrier, bank, GST, or Customs processing depends on the responsible organisation.
