Census Reminds Users to File EEI for Exports Under AES Downtime Policy

The Census Bureau said April 21 it had deactivated its Automated Export System downtime policy after fixing issues affecting AES, which wasn’t operating for users April 20 (see 2304200063). Users should file all Electronic Export Information for shipments exported under the AES Downtime Policy, along with any new AES transactions, to receive an Internal Transaction Number. “Due to the high volume of shipments that are being processed at this time, please be patient in obtaining an AES response message,” Census said. “Do not submit shipments more than once.”
