2011 Schedule B and HTS Numbers - Effective Immediately

**********************************************************************

    Effective immediately, the Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule
   (HTS) tables in the AES have been updated to accept the changes to the
   2011 codes.

   AES will accept shipments with outdated 2010 codes during a grace
   period for 30 days beyond the expiration date of December 31, 2010. 
   Reporting an outdated 2010 code after the 30 day grace period will
   result in a fatal error.

   The AESDirect program has been updated with the 2011 codes and will
   accept shipments with outdated 2010 codes during the grace period as
   well.

   All AESPcLink users must update their AESDirect code tables to reflect
   the 2011 changes in 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 2011 Schedule B and HTS tables are available for downloading at:

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