This is a required field for AES filing.

For shipments originating in the US, this is the two-character Export Information Code (EIC). For shipments passing through AES, this code is validated from the AES lookup tables. The EIC indicates the type or condition of the item. See the Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements (AESTIR) documentation (Appendix E) for a list and description of these codes.

DDTC Exemption

Enter your exemption. This is the DDTC exemption in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (CFR 120-130) and serves as the written authorization from the DDTC to permit the export.

Note: With this exemption, no additional license or other written approval from the DDTC is necessary.

DDTC Registration No

Enter your DDTC Registration Number (also called the Registrant Code).

Note: Before applying for a license or using an exemption, exporters must first register with the DDTC and be assigned a Registration Number.

Caution: If this registration number has expired, AES will reject the shipment transaction.

DDTC Significant Military Equipment

Enter Y for yes or N for no. Yes indicates that some or all of the articles to be exported warrant special export controls because of their capacity for substantial military utility or capability. No indicates that this is not the case.

Note: To determine whether your shipment contains Significant Military Equipment, refer to the ITAR.

DDTC Eligible Party Cert

Enter Y for yes or N for no. Yes indicates self-certification by the DDTC registered exporter that they can meet all the ITAR criteria to use the exemption and a certification by the DDTC registered exporter that all parties to the transaction are eligible to receive USML items under the ITAR. No indicates that this is not the case.

Note: Refer to ITAR 120.1c to determine whether a party is eligible to receive USML items. If you need further assistance with this indicator, contact the DDTC.

DDTC US Munitions List Category Code

Enter the value from the DDTC USML Category Code that categorizes the item in your export shipment as stated on the license or other export authorization; for example, from Block 11 (DSP-5), Block 14 (DSP-73) or Block 13 (DSP-85 and DSP-61) of the State License. Valid Values are 01-18 and 20-21

Note: The USML Category Code may be printed on the license in Roman numerals; for example: II (=  2) for "guns and armament." Enter the Arabic numeral equivalent (not the Roman numeral) in this field. USML Category Codes are listed in Arabic numerals in AESTIR Appendix L.

DDTC UOM

Enter the DDTC unit of measure for the article being shipped as stated on the license or other export authorization. This information should be provided on the license, unless the unit of measure is the commodity itself (for example: 4 T-55 engines, 11 centerfire rifles, etc.) In those cases, simply use an appropriate Unit of Measure code ("Items", "Pieces", etc.)

Note: If you need further assistance in determining the correct code, contact the DDTC.

DDTC Quantity

Enter the number of units that correspond to the DDTC unit of measure (see previous row) reported for this commodity.

After you enter the necessary information on the Customs sub-tab, together with the information on the other Items sub-tabs, click the Items tab to add the item to the shipment. See the following Help topic: Warehouse Screen - Items Tab. Since this is an international shipment, you also need to fill out the INTL tab including its Customs sub-tab for AES filing. See the following Help topics: Warehouse Screen - INTL Tab and INTL Tab - Customs Sub-tab.
