Removal of AES License Code C37, Civil End Users (CIV)

On Tuesday, April 28, 2020, the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security published a final rule (Federal Register Volume 85, Number 82 (Tuesday, April 28, 2020)]) that becomes effective June 29, 2020. Because of this rule, the following change will be made to AES in order for exporters and authorized agents to successfully report electronic export information in the AES. BIS is removing License Exception Civil End-Users (CIV) (§ 740.5 of the EAR), which authorized exports, reexports, and transfers (incountry) of certain national security-controlled items, without prior review by BIS provided the exception’s criteria were met, to most civil end users for civil end uses in Country Group D:1.

Because of this rule, AES License Code C37, Civil End Users (CIV) is no longer supported. As such, the mapping has been removed. Based on the regulatory changes, if you specify CIV as the license code or license exception code, then "S00" will be reported.
