Transition to the Refactored AESDirect System in ACE

This message is not intended for filers using AESWebLink and AESDirect EDI Upload.  It is strictly for the attention of filers using the legacy AESDirect portal at aesdirect.census.gov and the AESPcLink application.

 

The Refactored AESDirect system in the Automated Commercial Environment was launched on November 30, 2015.  Since that time, filers have submitted over 47,000 accepted shipments using the new system.

As part of the transition of AESDirect to the ACE Portal, the ability to file Electronic Export Information via legacy AESDirect at aesdirect.census.gov and the AESPcLink application will be terminated in stages over the next two months.  All legacy AESDirect filers will be notified of their mandatory transition date to the Refactored AESDirect system upon login and be provided a specific date their account will be closed off based upon their Filer ID.

The dates for this transition are based upon the two-digit prefix of the Filer ID and accounts will be closed off from legacy AESDirect accordingly.
