CSMS # 54455271 - Electronic Export Information (EEI) - AESTIR Appendix A – Commodity Filing Response Messages Update for New Automated Export System (AES) Informational Message

The AESTIR Appendix A – Commodity Filing Response Messages has been posted on cbp.gov with an update of adding this Informational Response Message: https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/aestir-appendix-commodity-filing-response-messages?utm_campaign=&utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

This message is a follow-up to a CENSUS broadcast that was released on June 30, 2022, titled Guidance on Filing the USPPI Address and State of Origin in the Automated Export System. This is intended to provide clear guidance for U.S. Principal Parties in Interest (USPPI) when the USPPI Address State and State of Origin do not match on the Electronic Export Information (EEI) in the Automated Export System (AES). If the U.S. State codes do not match, filers shall begin filing in compliance with the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) going forward.

To ensure further compliance with the FTR, specifically ensuring the USPPI Address in section 30.6(a)(1)(ii) and the State of Origin in section 30.6(a)(4) match, the Census Bureau will be deploying a new Informational Message in the AES. The message will be active in the Certification testing environment on January 10, 2023 and will go into the Production environment on February 7, 2023. This Informational Message will allow the filer to take notice of the USPPI Address and State of Origin fields being reported on the EEI in the AES when the data elements do not match and make changes.

Exporters and Software Developers that submit Electronic Export Information (EEI) via the Electronic Data Interface (EDI) will need to program and test their software so that their clients receive the new response code message outlined below.

Response Code: 26C

Narrative Text: STATE OF ORIGIN / USPPI STATE MISMATCH

Severity: INFORMATIONAL

Proprietary Record/Data Elements: Input SC1 Record/U.S. State of Origin; Input N03 Record/USPPI State Code

X.12 Segment ID/Data Elements: BA108, and the USPPI State Code is N402

Reason: The U.S. State of Origin Code and USPPI Address State Code do not match.

Resolution: The State of Origin and USPPI State must match and be reported as the location from which the goods actually begin the journey to the port of export as defined in section 30.6(a)(1)(ii) and 30.6(a)(4) of the Foreign Trade Regulations. Any reporting errors must be corrected and retransmitted. For further assistance, contact the Census Bureau’s Trade Regulations Branch at 1-800-549-0595, (Option 3).
