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

January 2, 2024

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 January 1, 2024 codes.

AES will accept shipments with outdated codes during a grace period for 30 days beyond the expiration date of December 31, 2023. Reporting an outdated code after the 30-day grace period will result in a fatal error.

The ACE AESDirect program has been updated with the 2024 codes and will accept shipments with outdated codes during the grace period as well.

The 2024 Schedule B and HTS tables are available for downloading at:
