What is an export commodity code, and how do I find out how to classify my export cargo?
In order to complete the EEI, you must report a commodity code for unlicensed cargo valued over $2,500, or for licensed cargo, regardless of value. The AES requires a 10-digit code from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) or the Schedule B (Export Commodity Classifications). HTS import codes may be used, in most cases, with exceptions noted in the AESTIR, Appendix V—HTS Numbers That Cannot Be Reported in AES”. For classification assistance, please call 800-549-0595, Menu Option 2. NOTE: Although import codes can be used in the AES, the reverse is not true. Export codes cannot be used in import reporting, except when the 10-digit codes are exactly the same.
