Census Reminds AES Users to Submit EEI for Shipments Sent Under Downtime Policy

The Automated Export System experienced an unscheduled outage April 26 before coming back online later that day, the Census Bureau said in an email. The outage affected only AESDirect filers, the agency said. Census reminded users that under the AES downtime policy, they are required to submit Electronic Export Information for all shipments that were exported, along with any new AES transactions, to receive an Internal Transaction Number.
