AESDirect Will Be Migrating Into ACE This Fall! |
Who?
Attention
all exporters (U.S. Principal Parties in Interest), authorized agents, and
freight forwarders…
What:
The AESDirect
export filing application will be migrated into the International Trade Data
System’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). In addition, a comprehensive export report
feature will be available to filers and USPPIs to facilitate their business
processes.
Why:
The President mandated a single window system for exports and imports
and ACE will be the hub to fulfill this directive (view Executive
Order). Integrating AESDirect into AES/ACE will eliminate the need to
maintain two data collection systems for exports.
When:
Summer 2015: The account registration and export reports
feature will be available. Filers and USPPI’s can begin registering for ACE accounts and request approval
for access to their export data.
Fall 2015: The AESDirect application will be available
for filer use. Those who have already registered for an ACE account will have
access immediately and all others will need to submit an ACE account
application form to access the new AESDirect filing system.
Early 2016
(tentatively): AESDirect
EDI Upload and Weblink functionality will
be deployed following the release of the AESDirect filing application.
How:
Details
regarding account availability, the registration process and transitioning to
the new system will be provided over the next few months.
Note:
The new filing application will
encompass all of the features inherent in both of the current online and offline
filing applications (AESDirect & AESPcLink) as well as enhancements, to
include: auto-save feature, saving partial shipments, saving complete shipments
for later submission, option to view interface in Spanish, user administration
and the creation of profiles and templates.
Be on the lookout for updates as they are
made available!
