AES stands for Automated Export System, the electronic filing system for reporting export shipments. The system requires exporters to submit EEI for qualifying shipments. These filings include goods valued over $2,500 under a single Schedule B or HTS classification, and many exports that require federal licenses or permits, regardless of value. When you file through AES, you receive an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) that confirms your submission and ensures it is on file.

U.S. Foreign Trade Regulations generally require EEI filing for qualifying exports when goods under a single Schedule B or HTS classification exceed $2,500, unless an exemption applies. All export information must be filed using the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).

ShipAES validates your filing at the delivery or shipment level to support export compliance. Once the filing passes validation, ShipAES submits it to AESDirect for approval. When AES accepts the EEI transaction, it generates an ITN, confirming that the filing is recorded in AES. ShipAES then records the ITN in your shipment documentation and continually checks its status with concise transaction number reporting.

ShipAES connects directly to AESDirect, the U.S. Census Bureau’s web-based system for export filing. When you create an export shipment in your ERP or business system, ShipAES pulls the required shipment data and builds the Electronic Export Information. The software validates the filing at the delivery or shipment level to support export compliance. Once the filing passes validation, ShipAES submits it to AESDirect for approval.

After AES accepts the EEI transaction, ShipAES receives an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) and records it in your shipment documentation. Your team can then view real-time status updates within your connected system, helping you manage export filings without switching between disconnected tools.

ShipAES helps generate and manage key export documents for qualifying shipments. The software also records the Internal Transaction Number (ITN) for each accepted AES filing. It helps your team maintain accurate shipment records, support audits, and keep export documentation organized in one system.
