TradeDoX 360 Automated Export System (AES) software reduces the amount of time when filing the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) since you do not need to retype any information you already have in your company database. When you are ready to file the SED, the TradeDoX 360 AES runs a validation procedure on the data you are sending and shows you the fields that didn't pass the validation with the appropriate error messages, next you can fix any errors before sending the data to the AES. TradeDoX 360 AES software also includes all the schedule B, K, D export, IATA, SCAC and license type codes with search engines to find the correct codes which are required by the U.S. Customs.

What is AES?

The Automated Export System (AES) is a joint venture between the U.S. Customs Service, the Foreign Trade Division of the Bureau of the Census (Commerce), the Bureau of Export Administration (Commerce), the Office of Defense Trade Controls (State), other Federal agencies, and the export trade community.

It is the central point through which export shipment data required by multiple agencies is filed electronically to Customs, using the efficiencies of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). TradeDoX 360 AES software provides an alternative to filling paper Shipper's Export Declarations (SEDs). Export information is collected electronically and edited immediately, and errors are detected and corrected at the time of filing. AES is a nationwide system operational at all ports and for all methods of transportation. It was designed to assure compliance with and enforcement of laws relating to exporting, improve trade statistics, reduce duplicate reporting to multiple agencies, and improve customer service.
