**********************************************************************
2008 Schedule B and HTS Numbers - Effective Date January 1, 2008
**********************************************************************
Effective January 1, 2008, the Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) tables in the AES will be updated to accept the changes to
the 2008 codes.
AES will accept shipments with outdated 2007 codes during a grace
period for 30 days beyond the expiration date of December 31, 2007.
Reporting an outdated 2007 code after the 30 day grace period will
result in a fatal error.
The AESDirect program will also accept shipments with outdated 2007
codes during the grace period as well.
All AESPcLink users must update their AESDirect code tables to reflect
the 2008 changes in the Schedule B and HTS. Web users of AESDirect
who file via the website at www.aesdirect.gov will have their code
tables updated via the program automatically.
The 2008 Schedule B and HTS tables are available for downloading at:

The current list of HTS codes that are not valid for AES are available
