In an effort to increase the awareness of the requirement to resolve all AES Fatal Errors, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Foreign Trade Division will modify the AES Compliance Rate calculation to include outstanding Fatal Errors. This modification will provide AES filers a complete Compliance Rate that reflects a filer’s effort to maintain compliance with the Foreign Trade Regulations.
Beginning with the April 2012 AES Compliance Report, the new Compliance Rate will be implemented and filers will receive additional information regarding any unresolved AES Fatal Errors. The report will display the details of shipments with unresolved fatal errors including the Shipment Reference Numbers, AES Response Codes and AES Response Narratives. A listing of the most frequent unresolved fatal error(s) and their associated reason and resolution will be provided on the report.
Filers with few or no Fatal Errors will continue to see similar compliance rates under the new calculation. Filers with increasing numbers of unresolved Fatal Errors with respect to their number of shipments filed can expect significant decreases in their monthly compliance rates until these errors are addressed.
As a reminder,15 CFR Part 30 – Section 30.9 states that these errors must be corrected and EEI resubmitted prior to export for shipments filed predeparture and as soon as possible for shipments filed postdeparture but not later than ten calendar days after departure.
