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

Effective immediately, the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) table has been updated in the AES.

AES will accept shipments with outdated codes during a grace period for 30 days beyond the expiration date. Reporting an outdated code after the 30 day grace period will result in a fatal error.

The AESDirect program has been updated and will accept shipments with outdated codes during the grace period as well.

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

The HTS table is available for download at:

The current list of HTS codes that are not valid for AES are available at:
