AES to Generate Fatal Error for Use of Chemical, Biological ECCNs with NLR
Effective Jan. 1, the Automated Export System (AES) will generate a fatal error back to filers that use Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 1C351, 1C352, 1C353 and 1C354 with AES License Codes C32 or C33 designated for No License Required (NLR), the Census Bureau said on Oct. 23. The decision restricts filing electronic export information through AES for shipments of certain chemical and biological items. The referenced ECCNs are controlled and subject to a Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) license requirement for all destinations, including Canada.
