Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Updated in the Automated Export System (AES)
January 19, 2017
Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Updated in the Automated Export System (AES)
Effective immediately, the Schedule B, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), and HTS Codes That Are Not Valid for AES tables have been updated to accept the changes to the 2017 codes.
AES will accept shipments with outdated 2016 codes during a grace period for 30 days beyond the expiration date of December 31st, 2016. Reporting an outdated 2016 code after the 30-day grace period will result in a fatal error.
The ACE AESDirect program has been updated with the 2017 codes and will accept shipments with outdated 2016 codes during the grace period as well.
Please note that revised tables will be posted by the end of the month in line with expected HTS corrections from USITC. An additional AES Broadcast message will be sent when the tables are revised.
The 2017 Schedule B and HTS tables are available for downloading at:

(Note: Although the header indicates 2016, these are the current 2017 Concordance files. The header will soon be updated to reflect 2017.)
The current list of HTS codes that are not valid for AES are available at:
