Reporting the correct unit of measure in the Automated Export System (AES) is important for producing quality data. According to the Statistical Classification of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the United States (Schedule B), the AES requires specific quantity descriptions. Keep in mind that some commodities require two quantities to report in the AES.
If you use your invoice or packing list as a reference to report Electronic Export Information (EEI), the unit of measure in your documents may be different from what the Schedule B code requires. Be sure to report the unit of measure specified for your commodity in the Schedule B book.
To find the correct Schedule B code and required unit(s) of quantity, check out our easy to use search engine: https://uscensus.prod.3ceonline.com/. For classification assistance, call the Commodity Analysis Branch on 1-800-549-0595, option #2.
