AES Filing

AES Filing refers to the electronic submission of export information to the Automated Export System (AES), managed by the U.S. Census Bureau and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This process ensures compliance with U.S. export regulations by accurately reporting shipment details to the relevant authorities.

It is a mandatory step for shipments that meet specific criteria, such as value thresholds and designated commodity codes. AES Filing streamlines the export process, minimizes errors, and facilitates faster customs clearance. It also supports the accurate compilation of U.S. trade statistics and strengthens enforcement of export control laws.

Failure to comply with AES Filing requirements can lead to significant penalties and shipping delays. Proper filing ensures smooth and efficient international shipping operations.
