1) SHIPMENTS TO PROSCRIBED COUNTRIES MUST BE FILED PRE-DEPARTURE

2) NEW EDIT FOR AES OPTION 4 LATE FILING, EFFECTIVE JUNE 8, 2004


----------------------------------------------------------------------


1) SHIPMENTS TO PROSCRIBED COUNTRIES MUST BE FILED PRE-DEPARTURE


Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations require full export 
information pre-departure for shipments to proscribed countries. The 
list of proscribed countries can be found in 19 CFR 4.75(c).  The list 
includes countries, such as the USSR, which no longer exist. In cases 
where listed countries no longer exist, substitute the successor 
nations.  We are providing the updated list of proscribed countries 
below for your convenience.

Vessels must file complete manifests and shipper's export information 
if they sail directly to a proscribed country; aircraft must file 
complete shipper's export information whether the flight is direct OR 
indirect to a proscribed country.

If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please direct 
them to Janis E. Robinson of CBP by phone at 202-927-2348 or 
by email [email protected].

2) NEW EDIT FOR AES OPTION 4 LATE FILING, EFFECTIVE JUNE 8, 2004

Beginning on June 8, 2004 the AES will generate the COMPLIANCE ALERT 
message "SHIPMENT REPORTED LATE; OPT 4" to the filer if the date AES 
receives the data is greater than date of export plus 10 calendar days, 
rather than the 10 working days currently permitted.

This change was made in anticipation of the implementation of full 
mandatory AES.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please direct them 
to the U.S. Census Bureau, AES Branch at 1-800-549-0595 or via email 
at [email protected].
