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

 

Effective immediately, the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) tables in the AES have been updated.

 

AES will accept shipments with outdated codes during a grace period for 30 days beyond the expiration date. Reporting an outdated code after the 30 day grace period will result in a fatal error.

 

All AESPcLink users must update their AESDirect code tables to reflect the changes.  AESDirect users who file via the website at www.aesdirect.gov will have their code tables updated via the program automatically.

 

The HTS tables are available for download at:http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aes/documentlibrary/index.html#concordance 

The current list of HTS codes that are not valid for AES are available at:http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aes/documentlibrary/hts-not-for-aes.html
