AES Compliance Seminar and Workshop

Automated Export System – Know the Current Requirements and Penalties

It is important that you understand the current requirements of the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) and how to avoid penalties and possible seizure of your commodities. In addition it is vital to provide accurate and complete data in efforts to help the trade make sound business decisions. The Census Bureau now requires mandatory filing of export information through the Automated Export System (AES) or through the AESDirect for all shipments where a Shipper’s Export Declaration was previously required. Penalties may be imposed per violation of the FTR from $1,100 to $10,000 – both civil and criminal – for the delayed filing, failure to file, false filing of export information, and/or using the AES to further any illegal activity. In accordance with the FTR, all parties to the export transaction are subject to the files and penalties. Additionally, all AES filers are faced with new filing deadlines by mode of transportation for reporting export information.

The U.S. Commercial Service, Milwaukee, is partnering with the U.S. Census Bureau to bring you a much needed educational program in the greater Milwaukee region.
