Filing Your Export Shipments through the Automated Export System
Make sure you know what you need to do to file through AES.
U.S. exporters must electronically file their export information through the Automated Export System (AES) on the ACE portal when goods are valued at more than $2,500 or they require an export license. You may be required to do the actual filing yourself, or you must provide certain data elements to a third party who is doing the filing.
The data you submit to AES is used by the U.S. Census Bureau to collect information on U.S. exports and by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to ensure compliance with export regulations. Exporters who don’t understand AES requirements risk shipment delays, potential fines and other penalties.
