AES Broadcast 02/05/2007 Broadcast # 2007006
**********************************************************************
2007 Schedule B and HTS Numbers Have Not Been Implemented in AES
**********************************************************************
The 2007 Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) tables were
scheduled to be updated in the AES with an effective date of
February 3, 2007. During the implementation we encountered system
problems.
Currently, the 2007 Schedule B and HTS numbers have not been
implemented in the AES and only the 2006 numbers are being accepted.
The reporting of a 2007 number will result in a fatal error.
We anticipate the implementation of the 2007 numbers by
February 12, 2007. There will be another broadcast announcing the
2007 Schedule B and HTS numbers once updated in the AES. Please do
not report any 2007 number prior to this announcement.
The AESDirect program remains consistent with the AES mainframe and
only 2006 Schedule B and HTS numbers are available for reporting.
If your company has already incorporated the 2007 numbers into your
system and can not revert back to the 2006 numbers, please consider
visiting www.aesdirect.gov to serve as a backup.

AES Branch at 1-800-549-0595, menu option 1 or at askaes@census.gov.
