Automated Export System (AES)

The Automated Export System (AES) is an electronic system used by the United States government to collect and manage information about exports. When businesses ship goods out of the country, they must report details about these shipments, such as what is being exported, where it’s going, and its value. This information helps ensure compliance with U.S. export laws, aids in trade statistics, and enhances national security. By using AES, exporters can streamline their reporting process, reduce paperwork, and maintain accurate records for customs officials.
