Last updated: April 2026 dataCode 60040 is a statistical placeholder used in US export trade accounts to record goods moving to Canada for which no formal Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing was required or submitted. Under the longstanding US–Canada data-sharing arrangement, low-value and certain exempt shipments crossing the northern border are captured through Canadian import records rather than US export declarations, creating a documented gap that this code helps quantify in aggregate trade statistics. For trade analysts, the category is a reconciliation tool rather than a commodity classification, and its volume reflects the breadth of cross-border commerce that falls below AES filing thresholds or qualifies for exemptions under the Foreign Trade Regulations.

The US and Canada have a bilateral data-exchange agreement under which many low-value or otherwise exempt shipments to Canada do not require a full Electronic Export Information filing in the Automated Export System. Instead, Canadian import records serve as the primary data source. Code 60040 aggregates these undocumented flows so that US export totals remain statistically complete, even though individual commodity detail is not captured on the US side.
Generally, no — 60040 reflects normal statistical treatment of exempt or low-value cross-border shipments, not a compliance deficiency. However, exporters should confirm that their shipments genuinely qualify for an AES filing exemption under the Foreign Trade Regulations. If a shipment requires an EEI filing based on its value, destination, or commodity (for example, items subject to export licensing), it must be filed correctly regardless of whether it is destined for Canada.
