# [Schedule B & HTS Codes Updated…Don’t’ Get a Fatal Error! - Export Compliance Training Institute](https://learnexportcompliance.com/insights/schedule-b-hts-codes-updateddont-get-a-fatal-error)

Effective immediately, the Schedule B & Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) tables have been updated in the AES (Automated Export System). AES will only accept outdated codes for a 30 day grace period beyond the expiration date. Using an outdated code after the 30-day grace period will result in a fatal error.

The ACE AESDirect program has also been updated and will accept shipments with outdated codes during the grace period as well.

The Schedule B and HTS tables are available for download [here](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rcI49TAHri3-Su2njaBqkemBINmZ1vTONRnGcwPH9q_xHpXQ0TFQCiqiYNNi_7xM8nDwiWpPjZKNhHdEYiBEZzOTsz0VMnPISiy_Or8l41CCfoC8d9kq8mWCaQSltGcz8xRf4KXWGmLypYql3db4m0sdujIgdZMhxGhhAQDVTHyMiwjTjon3mU8p19YfmW_C6NWDoxZigK6NqpeDF1Lp81qvZ4oLD5IfMJjKT9tplzVs4qqBU6D9zZZBIHa65fNb&c=1Z6H3TJ0MevVe9r9Q709i5A2NkYyTRJWnq4L0rV-0YEZ3WJygfZufw==&ch=ZUfDCWE8lQ4Rpcqto3qu6tS1xtgeq9RzdZGpCTWUALsl1ix3sH3dIg==):
