Subject: Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Updated in AES to Accept Chgs from PP9771
Effective immediately, the Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) tables have been
updated in the Automated Export System (AES) to include the recent changes from Presidential Proclamation 9771 published August 2, and effective October 1.
AES will accept shipments with outdated codes during a grace period for 30 days beyond the expiration date. Reporting an outdated code after the 30-day grace period will result in a fatal error.
The ACE AESDirect program has been updated and will accept shipments with outdated codes during the grace period as well.
The Schedule B and HTS tables are available for download at:
