What causes this issue?

Additional information should not be left blank because different
lengths were maintained in Table T609s.
In Table T609s, the length of the commodity number has a different
value than the length of the import code number. However, if you leave
the field for additional information blank, it means that the entered
number can be used both as the commodity code and as the import code
number. If you use a number for both goods directions, the length of
the numbers for both goods directions should be the same in Table
T609s.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
