CBP is again extending a deadline to allow users more time to continue submitting certain documents through the Document Imaging System in preparation for the agency’s upcoming Electronic Export Manifest mandate (see 2207290035 and 2209150014), the agency said in a CSMS message last week.
The Census Bureau emailed tips this week on how to address the most frequent messages generated this month in the Automated Export System.
The Census Bureau is deploying a new fatal error message in the Automated Export System to alert filers that the ultimate consignee country can’t be reported as the U.S. when the ultimate country of destination is neither the U.S. nor Puerto Rico. The response message will be active in the AES certification testing environment Sept. 16 and will go into the production environment Sept. 30, Census said in a Sept. 13 email to industry.
The Census Bureau is adding CG Railway to its list of carriers participating in the ACE Electronic Export Manifest pilot for vessel cargo, CBP said in a Sept. 11 CSMS message. The carrier is “submitting 100%” EEM and will “not be required to submit the CF 1302A -- Cargo Declaration -- Outward with Commercial Forms, in the Document Image System (DIS) or directly to the port of departure in paper form.”
The Census Bureau is updating the Automated Export System with Export Control Classification Numbers and a license code to reflect new export controls over advanced technologies announced last week by the Bureau of Industry and Security (see 2409050028). The update adds multiple new ECCNs to the ECCN reference table in AES, Census said in a Sept. 6 email to industry, and introduces new License Code C70 for License Exception Implemented Export Control (IEC), which authorizes certain technology exports to other countries that have put in place similar restrictions.
A new exemption for certain defense trade between the U.S., Australia and the U.K. under the AUKUS partnership is now active in the Automated Export System, CBP said in a Sept. 6 CSMS message. The State Department published the exemption in a final rule, effective Sept. 1, that it said will remove export control barriers for a range of items that had previously faced strict license requirements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
Several ports of unlading code names were updated or added in the Automated Export System Aug. 27, the Census Bureau said in an email to industry. AES updated the port in Nigpo, China (Port Code 57020), and added ports in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia (Port Code 51722), Tuna, India (Port Code 53308), and Zhoushan, China (Port Code 57023).
The Census Bureau this week alerted export filers about a name change to a license code in the Automated Export System that reflects a new semiconductor-related export license exception introduced by the Bureau of Industry and Security earlier this year. The AES change revises the name of License Code C68 to “Advanced Computing Authorized (ACA) (NO notification required),” according to an Aug. 21 email from Census and a CBP CSMS message.
