 BIS License Code Update

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

 Effective immediately, a new License Code C57 - Validated End-User (VEU)
         has been added in AES as a result of the final rule on exports destined 
         to China under "Authorized Validated End-User (VEU)" published today by 
         the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).

 At a later date, BIS will publish the names of the VEUs for whom this 
         license code can be reported.  Until this list is published, please do 
         not use this license code.

 Appendix F of the Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements 
         (AESTIR) has been updated to reflect the new License Code.  To review 
         the update, please see:

http://www.customs.gov/xp/cgov/export/aes/tech_docs/aestir/june04_intro/appendices/

 All AESPcLink users must update their AESDirect code tables to reflect 
         the update of the License Code.  Users of AESDirect who file via the 
         website at www.aesdirect.gov will have their code tables updated via 
         the program automatically.

 For further information or questions, contact the U.S Census Bureau
         AES Branch at 1-800-549-0595, menu option 1 or at askaes@census.gov.
