Reduce Exporting Stress with AES
Process Flow Using AES Developed Software, AES Certified Service Center or AESDirect, USPPI/US Agent (Filer) transmits commodity (SED) shipment information including the booking number for vessel shipments Filer delivers cargo and exemption statement to carrier Once AES accepts the shipment, a confirmation number is assigned Data are processed for validity against edit tables and U.S. Agency requirement files AES rejects the shipment if certain information is invalid or incomplete. These rejections result in fatal errors, and must be corrected before cargo is exported. AES generates warning messages that will not reject the shipment, but must be corrected within four days. Confirmation Number = ITN No SED AES XTN NDR ITN AES XTN Filer transmits ID Number and Shipment Reference Number = XTN.
Downtime Policy • AES down - your shipments move • Your system down - your shipments move • Contact one of your Client Reps • Report one of the XTN exemption statements
