This message is intended for ACE AESDirect filers ONLY.  If you are not an ACE AESDirect filer, you were not affected by this outage.  

The AES Downtime Policy has been deactivated and the ACE AESDirect applications are now operational.

Please file all Electronic Export Information (EEI) for shipments that were exported under the AES Downtime Policy, along with any new AES transactions, to receive an Internal Transaction Number (ITN).

Due to the high volume of shipments that are being processed at this time, please be patient in obtaining an AES response message. Do not submit shipments more than once.
