What is a used vehicle for AES purposes?
Customs and Border Protection CFR 192.1 defines it as “any self-propelled vehicle the equitable or legal title to which has been transferred by a manufacturer, distributor or dealer to an ultimate purchaser.”
If you’re exporting a car, it is considered used unless you are buying it directly from the manufacturer. That means it should be listed as “used” even if you never stepped foot in it or bought it “new” from a dealer.
What else do you need to complete the Electronic Export Information (EEI) for your car?
First, you need to verify if your commodity classification code requires or allows you to complete additional used vehicle fields. Refer to the AES Trade Interface Requirements’ Appendix U: HTS/Schedule B Classifications Requiring Used Vehicle Reporting.
If your commodity classification code is not listed in Appendix U, ACE AESDirect will not display the additional fields when you enter your Schedule B or Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code. If you type in a code that requires or allows you to enter the information, the system will display the necessary fields in the commodities section that you need to complete:
We strongly recommend that you also enter the vehicle’s year, make and model in the commodity description field. When you complete all required fields in ACE AESDirect, you can submit your EEI. After it’s successfully filed and processed, you will receive an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) to put on the shipping documents. Every AES shipment must have a unique ITN.
