CBP title: Update to the Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements (AESTIR) – Appendix U – HTS/Schedule B Classifications Requiring Used Vehicle Reporting
This message is from June 30, 2026. Later CSMS messages may have changed it. See the latest trade news
What did CBP announce?
CBP announced an update to AESTIR Appendix U, the list of HTS/Schedule B codes requiring used vehicle reporting in the Automated Export System. CBP added HTS code 8427.10.8020, covering self-propelled forklift equipment, to that list. The update applied to exporters filing AES records for used vehicles.
What is Allied's position?
This notice concerns exporters who file Automated Export System records, not the customs entries Allied files for imports. Clients who export used self-propelled forklifts under HTS 8427.10.8020 should confirm with their AES filer that this code is reported correctly. We have not seen a later CSMS message changing this list, but clients should check the current AESTIR Appendix U on CBP.gov for the latest version.
General information, not legal advice.
