Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Updated in the Automated Export System (AES)
Effective immediately, the Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) tables have been updated in the AES.
AES will accept shipments with outdated codes during a grace period for 30 days beyond the expiration date. Reporting an outdated code after the 30-day grace period will result in a fatal error.
The ACE AESDirect program has been updated and will accept shipments with outdated codes during the grace period as well.
The Schedule B and HTS tables are available for download at:

The current list of HTS codes that are not valid for AES is available at:
http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aes/documentlibrary/concordance/hts-not-for-aes.html
Please note: Presidential Proclamation 9466 signed June 30 created new HTS numbers, effective July 1. These changes are not included in this update. A second broadcast will notify AES filers when the new HTS code tables are ready.
