Customs Manifest File Option

When shipping a device internationally, you must include the customs manifest file option with its required subfields in your manifest file. AWS Import/Export uses these values to validate your inbound shipment and prepare your outbound customs paperwork. If you exclude these fields from your manifest and the country that we are shipping your storage device to is outside the country of the data-loading facility, your job request will fail.

Note

This requirement does not apply to shipments in the European Union. When shipping your device between the EU (Ireland) Region's data-loading facility and a European Union member nation, you do not need to include the customs options.

To access Amazon S3 buckets that are in the EU Region, the shipping device must originate from and be shipped back to a location in the European Union.

All of the options in the following table are subfields of the customs option, for example:

customs:
     dataDescription: This device contains medical test results.
     encryptedData: yes
     encryptionClassification: 5D992
     exportCertifierName: John Doe
     requiresExportLicense: yes
     deviceValue: 250.00
     deviceCountryOfOrigin: China
     deviceType: externalStorageDevice

Note The customs option is not required when shipping devices within the European Union. All other options described in this table are subfields of this option. The following shows the `customs` option with its required subfields. customs: dataDescription: Medical test results. encryptedData: yes encryptionClassification: 5D992 exportCertifierName: John Doe requiresExportLicense: yes deviceValue: 250.00 deviceCountryOfOrigin: China deviceType: externalStorageDevice typeOfExport: return Type: String Default: None	Yes

deviceType	Specifies the type of device that you are sending. Each device type defaults to an HTS code that's used in your commercial invoice. We use the following default mapping between the device type and HTS code: `externalStorageDevice` : `8471.70.4065` `usbFlashDrive` : `8471.70.9000` `sataDrive` : `8471.70.2000` You can override these default mappings by specifying the `deviceHTS` option. deviceType: usbFlashDrive Type: Enum Default: None Valid Values: `externalStorageDevice` \| `usbFlashDrive` \| `sataDrive`	Yes
encryptedData	Specifies whether the data on your device is encrypted. If yes, then you must include the `encryptionClassification` option. The following example specifies that the data is encrypted. encryptedData: yes Type: String Default: None Valid Values: `yes` \| `no`	Yes
encryptionClassification	If the device includes encrypted data, this field allows you to specify the software's classification. When shipping encrypted data to or from the United States the encryption software must be classified as 5D992 under the United States Export Administration Regulations. encryptionClassification: 5D992 Type: String Default: None Condition: Required when `encryptedData` value is yes.

typeOfExport	Specifies the type of export. The value `return` indicates the shipment is being returned to the country from which it was shipped. The value `temporary` indicates the shipment will be returning from the destination country to the AWS data loading facilities country. The value `permanent` means that the shipment will remain in the country it is being sent to, and the shipment didn't originate from that country. typeOfExport: permanent Type: String Default: return Valid Values: `return` \| `permanent` \| `temporary`	Optional
