Our broker currently files our AES transactions for us; however, the service in this area is not great. We are located on the southern border and currently export about 60 shipments from the US to Mexico daily. We are looking at the possibility of filing our AES transactions in-house. Is anyone currently filing AES transactions […]
We export under three different company names (divisions) and we export both AES Opt 2 and Opt 4. So, we have up to 7 different possible AES exemption statements depending on the nature of the exact shipment (including the under $2500 exemption). Our 3PL is telling us that we have to get the correct AES […]
I need some guidance from the membership on filing SED’s. If I understand a routed transaction correctly, a foreign company can designate a U.S. freight forwarder to facilitate the export of the goods and fill out the SED, right? Does this mean that a shipment of goods from several U.S. suppliers can be reported on […]
So that my commercial invoice and AES match, I have asked my FF to list all Sch. B’s on the AES even for those Sch B’s under $2,500. The FF is reluctant stating that it is not requried and should not be shown on the AES. Is there any problem with having the information on […]
Cargo to be airfreighted to Italy first, ultimate destination is an oil platform offshore of Angola, called FPSO Saxi-Batuque.

We are a large exporter that currently has our freight forwarders filing our AES submissions on our behalf. Does any one out there in this situation obtain each ITN# from their agent once an entry is accepted by AES? If so, can you please give me a high level overview of how you maintain this?
Do any members plan on responding to the Dept. of Commerce request for comments on the data collection benefits gained from AES filings? (Federal Register Dec. 3rd 2007 Volume 72, Number 231) I understand Commerce’s need to know what products are being sold from the U.S. I have no problem forwarding information to them, and […]
We would like to start filing the export declarations via AES on exports we are making but have run into an issue. We have found several large customers who are having their freight forwarder file the declaration in the name of their US sister companies (we are not selling the products to the US companies […]
Since we “sell” to our Mexican Subsidiary, we sell them them using INCOTERM DAF Laredo, TX. We sell them the product and pay all US domestic freight to Laredo on our side of the border, and their broker/forwarder picks up in the US and makes all arrangements to cross the border and clear Customs in […]
If a customer orders 25 of one item. All shipped on one day via 25 separate courier waybills. Each individual shipment is under $2500. These are all on one purchase order. The total value of the 25 items is well over $2500. Should the total value be entered into AES, or because they are separate […]
Can anyone share their concerns about having the Freight Forwarder file AES Direct? Currently our company handles the AES filing then has them ship the merchandise? I’m not sure if letting them file AES could cause errors and ultimately impact us if wrongful information is filed?
