Tips on How to Resolve AES Response Messages
 When a shipment is filed to the AES, a system response message is generated and indicates whether the shipment has been accepted or rejected. If the shipment is accepted, the AES filer receives an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation. Though the shipment is accepted, the filer may still receive a Verify Message, Compliance Alert, Informational Message or Warning Message along with their ITN. However, if the shipment is rejected, a Fatal Error notification is received and must be corrected to receive a valid ITN.
To help you take the appropriate action for the different AES Response Messages, here are some tips on how to address the most frequent messages that were generated in AES for this month.
Response Code: 341
Narrative: Ultimate Consignee Must Be Reported Within 4 Days
Severity: Warning
Reason: The Party Type is C for Ultimate Consignee and the ‘To Be Sold en Route’ indicator is reported as Yes.
Resolution: Incomplete ultimate consignee information may be declared on an EEI when a ‘To Be Sold en Route’ declaration has been made. However, the actual ultimate consignee must be declared within 4 days of the Estimated Date of Export.
Verify the ‘To Be Sold en Route’ indicator, correct the shipment and resubmit.
Response Code: 505
Narrative: Value of Goods Contains Non-Numerics
Severity: Fatal
Reason: The Value of Goods reported contains non-numerics or spaces.
Resolution: The Value of Goods must be declared on an EEI as numeric. Round to whole dollars, right justify and zero fill unused positions.
Verify the Value of Goods, correct the shipment and resubmit.
