In the age of technology, the world welcomes automation. Semi or fully automated processes aren\u2019t new to the shipping industry, neither is the automation of <\/span>export<\/span><\/a>. Different <\/span>US government agencies<\/span><\/a> collaborated and created a unified system to collect the most relevant information about shipments for <\/span>export<\/span><\/a>. Here, we\u2019re explaining what the automated export system is and how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Automated Export System<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"automated<\/p>\n

The automated export system <\/span>(AES)<\/b> is used to gather, store, and declare all relevant information related to the <\/span>export<\/span><\/a> of goods and commodities. This nationwide system is a universal conduit, which transmits the required information on each export shipment to the appropriate government agency. It is a collaboration between <\/span>Customs and Border Protection<\/span><\/a> (or CBP), the Census, the Directorate of Defense Trade, the Bureau of Industry and Security, and some other entities that may collect export statistics. The main purpose of the automated export system is to collect the Electronic Export Information <\/span>(EEI)<\/b> through the advanced technology found in all ports and transport hubs across the USA. The AES applies to any means of transportation, including <\/span>air<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>rail<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>sea<\/span><\/a>, and truck <\/span>logistics<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

How The Automated Export System Works<\/b><\/h2>\n

Primarily, it functions to ensure compliance of exported commodities with all US <\/span>stipulations and requirements<\/span><\/a>. When exporters or transport companies on their behalf <\/span>make a booking for shipping<\/span><\/a>, the EEI is transmitted through the automated export system. Then, the system generates a confirmation notification for US CBP and a customer\/exporter. The automated export system can send an error message back to filers if they committed mistakes in the electronic form.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which Information Is Collected With The Automated Export System?<\/b><\/h2>\n
