What Is AES? • The Automated Export System is the electronic filing of: • Shipper’s Export Declarations (SEDs) • Ocean Outward Manifests
Benefits of AES • Saves time and money • Eliminates paper • Reduces duplicate reporting • Improves trade statistics
How AES Works • Transmit export shipment (SED) data to AES with Filer ID and Shipment Reference Number = XTN • AES processes data against edit tables and US agency requirement files
How AES Works • AES responds with one of the following messages: • Shipment accepted and a confirmation number is returned • Shipment accepted with warnings and a confirmation number is returned • Shipment not accepted; Fatal Error exists, Correct and Resubmit Shipment
How AES Works • Deliver the merchandise to the carrier with one of the following exemption statements shown on the shipping documents: • No SED Required AES EIN SRN • No SED AES EIN SRN • NDR AES EIN SRN • NDR AES ITN
AES Downtime Policy • AES down - your shipments move • Your system down - your shipments move • Contact one of your Client Reps • Report one of the AES exemption statements
