Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Updated in the Automated Export System (AES)

The Schedule B, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), and HTS Codes That Are Not Valid for AES tables have been updated to reflect the changes to the 2019 codes effective January 1st, 2019.

The typical grace period of 30 days will not be extended with this update. AES will not accept shipments with outdated 2018 codes and reporting an outdated 2018 code will result in a fatal error.

The ACE AESDirect program has been updated with the 2019 codes.
