Use of Invalid HTS Nos in AES or AESDirect Will Result in Fatal Error

Census has also stated that use of one of the 231 listed HTS numbers into AES or AESDirect (Census' Web-based system that allows filers to electronically file export information with AES at no charge) will result in a fatal error.
