By now, we're all growing accustomed to an ever-evolving world but keeping up with changes can be challenging. Exports are no exception.
As an Automated Export System (AES) filer, you know it’s key to stay on top of Title 15 Code of Federal Regulations Part 30, the Foreign Trade Regulations and filing requirements. So, in this blog we discuss recent AES changes related to filing Electronic Export Information (EEI) – the addition of a new AES license code, its reporting guidelines, and what this means for your work.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) last October published an interim final rule (FR-2021-10-21) that took effect March 7 (FR-2022-01-12). The interim final rule “establishes a new control on cybersecurity items and a new License Exception ‘Authorized Cybersecurity Exports’ (ACE) that authorizes exports of these items to most destinations except in the circumstances described in the rule.”
These changes could impact the way you file shipments if you’re exporting items that fall under this BIS requirement. Plus, accurate EEI reporting is critical for export compliance, especially if exporting a shipment subject to a license requirement (under a license or license exception).
AES filers (U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) and authorized agents) need to be aware of the following changes in order to successfully report EEI:
To ensure AES doesn’t reject shipments, filers must adhere to the following new reporting guidelines when using AES License Code C64 Authorized Cybersecurity Exports (ACE).
For a complete list of all of the AES license codes and their reporting guidelines, refer to Appendix F of the AESTIR.
