Publication Announcement:

Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): Cancellation of the Advanced Export Information (AEI) Pilot Program

This broadcast is for parties who had previously participated or are currently participating in the AEI pilot program.

The Census Bureau’s Economic Management Division (EMD) announces that the Census Bureau, in cooperation with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has decided to cancel the AEI pilot program. This decision to eliminate the AEI pilot program as an AES filing option was made because the Census Bureau was unable to conduct sufficient analysis and evaluation of the pilot program due to a lack of adequate participation.
