AES Requirement to Identify ECCN for EAR License Exception Exports Begins April 28, 2008

Beginning on April 28, 2008, AES reporting requirements for export license exceptions will change. It will be mandatory to report the Export Control Classifications Number (ECCN) on the AES record when using license exceptions TSR, RPL, GOV, GFT, TSU, BAG, AVS, APR, KMI, TAPS, ENC to export goods, technology, or software from the United States.

The ECCN will be required for the following exception codes:

1. C35-LVS
2. C36-GBS
3. C37-CIV
4. C38-TSR
5. C40-TMPC
6. C41-RPL
7. C42-GOV
8. C43-GFT
9. C44-TSU
10. C45-BAG
11. C46-AVS
12. C47-APR
13. C48-KMI
14. C49-TAPS
15. C50-ENCC51-AGR
16. C53-APP

While some have argued that this new requirement should not pose any problems for exporters, those arguments usually come from people who are not responsible for doing AES submissions and coordinating export paperwork and documentation.
