The Census Bureau emailed advice this week on how to address one of the most frequent messages generated last month in the Automated Export System.
The Census Bureau updated the Schedule B tables in the Automated Export System to accept changes to the new Jan. 1 codes, the agency said in a Jan. 5 email. Census said AES will accept shipments with “outdated codes” for 30 days beyond their Dec. 31 expiration date, but reporting an outdated code after the grace period will result in a “fatal error.”
The Census Bureau alerted exporters this week about changes to Automated Export System codes that were previously used for certain validated end users, noting that the updates reflect an August rule from the Bureau of Industry and Security that removed China-based facilities as VEUs.
The Census Bureau updated its port of export code in the Automated Export System for Port Angeles in Washington to reflect the fact that it's now accepting "road" as a mode of transportation, it said in an email to AES users Dec. 16. The port, code 3007, now permits transport modes for vessel, air and road.

CBP reminded the trade that the agency plans to discontinue the use of the Document Image System (DIS) for submitting outbound cargo declarations, starting Dec. 1, according to a cargo systems message. This includes the CBP Form 1302A: Cargo Declaration, supplemental form CBP 168, and any associated documents that comprise the outbound cargo manifest, CBP said.
CBP this week again reminded industry about an upcoming deadline to continue submitting certain documents through the Document Imaging System as it tries to push operators to participate in its Electronic Export Manifest pilot (see 2509260020). DIS will continue accepting submissions of “Form 1302A Cargo Declaration -- Outbound With Commercial Form” until Dec. 1, CBP said, along with supplemental Form CBP 168 or any associated documents that make up the outbound cargo manifest. The deadline previously was Oct. 1, after multiple prior extensions (see 2403180066).
CBP last week issued "one final extension" for its deadline to allow users more time to continue submitting certain documents through the Document Imaging System as it tries to push operators to participate in its Electronic Export Manifest pilot, the agency said in a Sept. 26 cargo systems message. DIS will continue accepting submissions of “Form 1302A Cargo Declaration - Outbound With Commercial Form” until Dec. 1, CBP said.
