CSMS # 62269032 - Update to the Automated Export System (AES) Commodity Filing Response Messages – Appendix A – Response Code 25B

To ensure compliance with the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), specifically ensuring the Ultimate Consignee Country is not reported as US when the Ultimate Country of Destination is neither US or PR, the Census Bureau is deploying a new Fatal Error Response Message in the AES. The response message will be active in the Certification testing environment on September 16, 2024, and will go into the Production environment on September 30, 2024.

Response Code: 25B

Narrative Text: ULT CONS COUNTRY CANNOT BE US

Severity: FATAL

Reason: The Ultimate Consignee Country cannot be reported as US when the Ultimate Country of Destination is neither US or PR.

Resolution: The Ultimate Consignee Country should be reported as the location where the person, party or designee is located abroad. The AES only allows US as the Ultimate Consignee Country when the Ultimate Country of Destination is the US or PR, which would only apply for shipments between the US and PR. Verify the Ultimate Consignee Country, correct, and retransmit.
