This is intended to provide clear guidance for U.S. Principal Parties in Interest (USPPI) when the USPPI Address State and State of Origin do not match on the Electronic Export Information (EEI) in the Automated Export System (AES). If the U.S. State codes do not match, filers shall begin filing in compliance with the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) going forward. To ensure further compliance with the FTR, specifically ensuring the USPPI Address in section 30.6(a)(1)(ii) and the State of Origin in section 30.6(a)(4) match, the Census Bureau will be deploying a new Informational Message in the AES. The message will be active in the Production environment on February 7, 2023.
