  1. Facilitating U.S. Exports with E-Government

  2. Solutions to Build Upon • Automated Export System (AES) • AESDirect • AESWebLink

  3. Automated Export System (AES) • Joint project - Customs & Census • Electronic filing of Shipper’s Export Declarations (SEDs) • Electronic filing of outbound carrier manifests

  4. Why Participate in AES? • Eliminate the paper SED • Save time and money • Reduce duplicate reporting • Ensure compliance with regulations • Fax copies no longer acceptable • Improve trade statistics

  5. How AES Works • Transmit shipment commodity data to AES with ID and reference number • AES processes data against edit tables and agency requirements • AES responds with an acceptance or non-acceptance message

  6. How AES Works (cont.) • Deliver merchandise to the carrier and provide an AES exemption statement on bill of lading • “No SED Required AES EIN SRN” • Carrier files manifest electronically within 10 days (vessel)

  7. AES Communication Choices • Develop own software: • ANSI X.12 • UN-EDIFACT • Customs proprietary format • Purchase software from an AES certified software vendor • File through an AES service center

  8. Participation in AES • 782 companies filing SED data on behalf of 178,000 exporters! • 573 Freight forwarders • 198 Exporters • 11 Others • 46 Service providers & software vendors • 353 applicants in development

  9. AES Statistics • AES - operational in July 1995 • Commodity data lines filed in AES: • 95-97 98,000 • 1998 669,026 • 1999 2,719,265 • 2000 7,100,970 (through June) • 58% of data in the trade statistics

  13. How to get started with AESDirect • Go to www.aesdirect.gov • Complete on-line registration form • Read the terms and conditions • Complete the tutorial and quiz • Receive email authorization • Log in and start filing AES!

  14. Current Participation • AESDirect operational on 10/4/99 • 558 companies have registered, taken tutorial, and passed the quiz • 342 companies filing • Number of SEDs: • 1999 8,612 • 2000 thru June 273,000

  15. AESWebLink • Major enhancement to AESDirect • Integrates commercial web applications with AESDirect • Operates as an Internet plug-in • Developers kit available on AESDirect • Tested, released, and ready for production!

  16. How AESWebLink Works • Client accesses your web application • Client completes B/L, SLI, etc. • If an SED is required: • Your application creates a data record • Record and client passed to AESDirect via AESWebLink • AESDirect then solicits remaining data

  17. How to get started with AESWebLink • Go to www.aesdirect.gov • Click on Developers Center • Complete the on-line application • Develop the AESWebLink interface in your application • Request/receive certification
