Census Offers AES Tips for Port of Export Code, Shipping Weight Errors
The Census Bureau emailed tips Sept. 20 on how to address the most frequent messages generated this month in the Automated Export System. Response code 137 is a fatal error when the reported port of export code doesn’t accommodate the mode of transportation code reported for a shipment from Puerto Rico to the U.S. Filers must report a valid port of export code for the shipment and should refer to Appendix D of the AES Trade Interface Requirements for a list of acceptable codes. Census said the filer should verify the country of ultimate destination, port of export code and mode of transportation code combination before correcting the shipment and resubmitting.

The filer should verify the export information code and the shipping weight, correct the shipment and resubmit.
