>[not after August 15, 2013] seems reasonable.
"[before August 2013] would be shorter. Why be negative? It probably
took two weeks for the item to reach you, so I would not worry about
the 15th.
Seems to me RDA often uses a phrase where a word would suffice.
We would still prefer guessing the decade, or at least century, to
avoid the Anglo centrism.
