Land Exports / Automated
Exports System (AES)
The Automated
Export System (AES) is the electronic way to file the Shipper's Export Declaration
(SED) and the ocean manifest information directly to U.S. Customs. The Census Bureau's
AERP ended on December 31, 1999. AERP was not Y2K compliant and was turned off as
advertised. You will need to file export shipments electronically in AES or revert
to filing paper SEDs.
AES is simply an
electronic tool that supports the enforcement system that currently exists. AES's
verifications, up-front edits, and selectivity allows us to focus our attention
on high risk shipments and expedite other shipments. With the pre-departure filing
of export shipments, inspectors are able to make informed decisions regarding examinations
similar to the way imports are handled. Chances of low risk shipments being delayed
are actually decreased.
The following four options are available to exporters for filing SED information:
- Option 1
provides for the filing of paper SEDs, pre-departure. The AES electronic filing
options include
- Option 2
which requires full pre-departure transmission and is the basic way of reporting
export shipments in AES.
- Option 3,
implemented in September 1999, requires partial information reported pre-departure
followed by complete information filed within five days of export. Option 3
does not require prior approval.
- Option 4
was implemented in March 1999 and is available to approved exporters only. It allows
the approved exporter to send his shipment without pre-departure notification to
AES. Full post-departure information must be reported within ten working days from
the date of exportation.
CASAS International
can offer the AES advantages to you. We are fully automated using THE METATRADE
EXPORT SYSTEM. If you are a frequent exporter, CASAS will apply the letter of intent
on your behalf in order to participate in option four. After approval, you will
ensure export compliance with a confirmation number or Internal Transaction Number
(ITN) as proof of successfully filing your export documentation.
