Census Newsletter Includes Comparison of AESDirect Shipment Manager and ACE Export Reports

The Census Bureau posted the July issue of TradeSource, the agency's trade-focused newsletter. Among topics in this issue is a comparison of AESDirect Shipment Manager and ACE Export Reports. "Both tools were designed to assist exporters and agents in managing their export transactions, but each has its own purpose," said Maritza Torres and Mayumi Brewster of the Governments and Trade Management Division. ACE Export Reports "includes all shipment data that is found in the Automated Export System (AES)," while the Shipment Manger "is limited to shipments filed only in AESDirect." Another item in this issue examines the benefits of foreign-trade zones.
