WHAT IS NEW WITH AES (AUTOMATED EXPORT SYSTEM) First remember what is old: AES (Automated Export System) is a computer program that collects your Electronic Export Information (EEI). There are more than forty Data Elements that may be submitted to Customs and the Census Bureau. A Data Element may be U.S Principal in Interest (USPPI), Ultimate Consignee. Port of Export, License Code/License Exemption Code, Value, Export Control Classification Number (ECCN), etc, etc. Most Data Elements are mandatory and some are optional. All Data Elements MUST be correct! There are limited opportunities to amend data after its original filing but it is still considered a violation. A simple clerical error can cost you a $10,000.00 penalty! They ARE being issued! Your shipment data is immediately sent to at least seven Government Agencies and is available to at least fourteen Other Government Agencies (OGAs).
Now review what is new: (Effective April 5, 2014 as published in the Federal Register March 14, 2013: Significant Changes will be: Ultimate Consignee must be declared as one of four types: Direct Consumer, Government Entity, Reseller or Other/Unknown at the time of export.

. C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) CBP (Customs and Border Protection division of Department of Homeland Security) Is moving to expand the program and provide additional incentives to encourage participation Presented at Export Expo 2013 by Harvey Waite, OCEANAIR Inc.
Several Benefits of Joining the C-TPAT Program: Reduced shipment inspections by CBP Costs savings associated with reduced inspections Increased predictability of Supply Chain Competitive advantage Often a business partner requirement Possible integration of C-TPAT and Importer Self-Assessment Your C-TPAT participation will give your foreign Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) importer customer benefits listed above
EXPORT advantages of C-TPAT: • Currently applies to only those countries in the European Union* and Japan. • You and your overseas partner will have lower automated risk assessment scores when determining the need for cargo inspection, other factors being equal. • New Zealand, Canada, Jordan, Korea and Taiwan have signed Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA) but do not yet have operational instructions. • Singapore, Israel, China, Mexico and Switzerland have Mutual Recognition Projects in place to move forward with the U.S to develop Mutual Recognition Agreements. • If your overseas buyer is an Authorized Economic Operator in the EU or Japan, they are designated as a C-TPAT compliant company and a secondary inspection by CBP may not be required.
There is a labor cost for members of the C-TPAT, however, with additional incentives being developed consistently, the costs are becoming relatively less and less. This reinforces the significant and ever increasing importance of CTPAT to both your import and export trade compliance and supply chainsecurity programs.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact OCEANAIR’s Compliance Division; William Connolly or Harvey Waite.
