AES (Automated Export System)
The Automated Export System (AES) is an online tool used by U.S. exporters to report shipments leaving the country. It helps streamline the export process by collecting necessary information, such as details about the goods and their destination, which is then submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This system enhances security, ensures compliance with export regulations, and aids in trade statistics. By using AES, exporters can help prevent illegal shipments and facilitate smoother international trade, making it easier for businesses to operate across borders.
