Census Offers Tip on Resolving AES Issues for When Value of Goods Too High For Commodity

The Census Bureau emailed a tip on how to address “the most frequent messages that were generated in [the Automated Export System] for this month." Response code 835 is a verify message for value of goods that are “too high for commodity reported,” Census said. This occurs when the value of the goods is higher than expected “based on historical statistical values for the particular goods,” Census said. This might indicate a “keying error or misclassification of the product.” Census advises filers to “[v]erify the Value of Goods and Schedule B/HTS Number, correct the shipment and resubmit (if necessary). If the line item is verified correct as reported, no action is necessary.” For a complete list of commodity filing fatal error response codes for June 2019, check this CBP document.
