About AES Export Declaration Filing Process

The United States Automated Export System (AES), now a component of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), is an electronic way to file the Electronic Export Information (EEI) directly with U.S. Customs. It is the central point through which customers can send export shipment data to the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP). To support companies which are required to comply with the AES regulations, Oracle Global Trade Management (GTM) provides the ability to generate the AES filing document in the X12 601 EDI format used by AES. GTM is certified for AES Filing using a third party VAN (value-added network using HTTPPOST). The technical integration details associated with these two certified approaches are covered in the Customs Filing Integration Guide available on the Oracle Help Center.

Note: Cloud customers need to send AES filing documents via a third party vendor using HTTPPOST and cannot send them directly to AES from GTM.

To support AES filing, GTM enables you to:

• Consolidate, split, or aggregate multiple trade transactions into declarations at the transaction header or transaction line level. Declarations are used for customs filing with CBP.
• Determine the declaration lines that should be reported.
• Calculate correct reporting values and convert the quantity for the declaration line to the quantity in the Units of Measure (UOMs) required by law to be used for customs reporting.
• Allocate charges from the declaration header to the lines as indicated by the AES regulations.
• Associate internal status for AES filing and identify whether the document used for filing should be updated and resubmitted again based on the responses received from AES.
