AES Downtime Policy Has Been Deactivated

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.

For further information or questions, contact the U.S. Census Bureau’s Trade Data Collection Branch.

Telephone: (800) 549-0595, select option 1 for AES
