Before AES, the export system was paper-bound; expensive, labor intensive, error prone. AES uses proven technology in a new way to address a significant problem with the export process. It will contribute to a re-engineering of the way U.S. exports are accomplished. The Automated Export System (AES) is a joint venture between CBP, the Foreign Trade Division of the Bureau of the Census (Commerce), the Bureau of Industry and Security (Commerce), the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (State), other federal agencies, and the export trade community.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection plans to conduct a test to promote paperless processing of vehicle exports in an effort to expedite and modernize compliance review by allowing the submission of vehicle ownership documentation, currently required in 19 CFR 192, through the Document Image System (DIS). This modernization effort is intended to institute risk-based targeting of exports for field inspection and validation of ownership documentation in lieu of paper documentation review for every vehicle presented for export.
This document provides guidance and explanations for errors returned on electronic data submitted to CBP via ACE.
The table below provides quick links to all of the existing ACE message error dictionaries. This table will be updated as changes are made to the underlying documents.
The content below provides technical documentation related to filing export related content to CBP and the Automated Commercial Environment's AESDirect.
