Census Offers AES Tips for Shipment Reference Number, Mode of Transport Errors
The Census Bureau emailed tips Oct. 20 on how to address the most frequent messages generated this month in the Automated Export System. Response code 075 is a fatal error when a Shipment Reference Number is already on file in AES. "When the Shipment Filing Action Request Indicator is an Add, the Shipment Reference Number cannot have been reported on a previous filing in AES," Census said. "The reuse of the Shipment Reference Number is prohibited." The filer should "verify the action requested" and the Shipment Reference Number, correct the shipment and resubmit.

Response code 511 is another fatal error for when the Mode of Transportation reported is not valid for the License Code/License Exemption reported. Census said the Mode of Transportation must be "compatible" with the reported License Code/License Exemption," and filers should check "Appendix F, License and License Exemption Type Codes" to determine the correct Mode of Transportation and License Code/License Exemption combination. The filer should then verify the Mode of Transportation and License Code/License Exemption, correct the shipment and resubmit.
