Declaration Creation

Declaration can be created manually through a consolidation process. You can consolidate one or more trade transactions to create a declaration. Consolidation can be performed via UI actions as well as automation agent actions.

All compliance related activities should have been completed on the trade transaction as they will not be available on the consolidated declaration.

AES uses a Shipment Reference Number to uniquely identify each shipment. This identifier should be created for each declaration and should remain constant for the declaration throughout the process of filing the export declaration. Global Trade Management Cloud provides an automation agent GENERATE SHIPMENT REFERENCE NUMBER to create this unique identifier when a new declaration is created. The identifier is added to the declaration as a reference number, using the Reference Number Qualifier ID, SHIPMENT REFERENCE NUMBER. You can either activate this automation agent, or use this automation agent as a template to create your own automation agent to generate an AES Shipment Reference Number.
