Trade Policy Updates

Code 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING’ and 007 ‘HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E or D’ are currently set to ‘INFORMATIONAL’. Severity will be changed to ‘FATAL’ in approximately 30 days from CSMS issuance date.



Code 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING’

A forwarding agent party must be reported in the Automated Export System (AES) Electronic Export Information (EEI) when the filer Id Type (E=EIN, D=DUNS) reported in the EEI does not match the USPPI ID Type (E=EIN, D=DUNS, T=Foreign Entity). If the Filer ID Type does not match the USPPI ID Type, AES will treat these as different parties and generate a AES response code: 227 Forwarding Agent Party Missing.



AES response code 227 has been temporarily assigned as ‘Informational’ and will be modified back to ‘Fatal Error’ severity on.



Code 007 ‘HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E or D’

ACE Electronic Export Information (AES) is now correctly validating for AESTIR commodity filing.

error message ‘007 HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E OR D’ in the X12 messages. Software vendors should update their software to send the correct value of the FilerID type: X.12 Segment ID/Data Elements: ISA05 : 01 (D), 24 (E).



For additional format details please refer to the ANSI X-12: 601 Export Shipment Information or CBP Proprietary Format. You may test your Electronic Export Information (EEI) in the certification environment.
