Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
Exporters can file information through Automated Export System (AES) Direct within the Automated Commercial Environment or via the legacy AESDirect system, CBP said in a Nov. 30 CSMS message (here).
"Take advantage of this time and begin transitioning your users to the new system," it said. "Please ensure proper transition management to avoid duplicate filing." CBP is in the process of piloting the use of AESDirect filing in ACE (see 1510200034). The deployment only affects portal and bulk upload filing, with guidance on AESDirect WebLink and EDI batch filing coming in the next two weeks, said CBP.
