FTR Changes

In April 2014 the Automated Export System (AES) deploys the FTR changes that were detailed in AES Broadcast #201316. Global Trade Management Cloud is updated to accommodate these regulatory changes. The format and query templates are modified to fulfill the new reporting requirements. However, you should note the following changes need to be configured in the templates to query and report the values correctly.

1. Ultimate Consignee Type – Element N106

   The N106 element is used to report the Ultimate Consignee Type. This value is required when the N101 Element value is CN. The Ultimate Consignee Type should be stored on the party master using the User-defined Category / Type / Code mechanism. A new AES FILING category and a new ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE TYPE are added. The Ultimate Consignee Type options are:

   • XT : Direct Consumer
   • QW : Government Entity
   • DU : Reseller
   • B2 : Other

   There must be one Ultimate Consignee Type set per party. The documentation validation rule pertaining to the ultimate consignee is modified to validate that any party designated as an ultimate consignee has the Ultimate Consignee Type value assigned.

2. License Value – Element X114

   A license value must be reported for certain license codes in the X114 Element. The license value is defined as the value for a licensable shipment which does not include any overhead charges like insurance, domestic freight, and other charges in US dollars.

   If the EDI license code being reported is one of the

   C30, N01, N02, S05, S61, S73, S85, S94, T10, T12 code,

   then the license value is reported as the Assigned License Value of the shipment line (i.e. the Value field in the Assigned Licenses grid).

   If the EDI license code being reported is one of the C35, C43, C59 code, then these exception codes has no assigned license value to report. In this case, you should assign a value to the shipment line that they want to report as the license value. You should indicate which value qualifier was used to assign the value, by setting the report additional parameter P_REPORTING_LICENSE_VALUE.

3. New License Codes

   A number of additional license codes are now supported with changes in the format and query templates. However, the DY6 License Code deserves special mention. A new control DY6 is created in AES for reporting of items that fall under the “600 series” ECCNs with a paragraph “.y”. If an AES filer submits export information containing a “600 series” ECCN with a paragraph “.y”, then filer must report using the C60 EDI code.

   Global Trade Management Cloud has built-in logic templates to automatically report a DY6 control when certain conditions are met. If a transaction contains an “NLR” license but is classified with a “600 series” ECCN US code, then the C60 EDI code must be reported irrespective of any other conditions.
