This package should be completed by the AES participant and transmitted
to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Computer within an
agreed upon time frame.

Use the shipment reference number indicated for each of the test
questions in the table below. For each question, you will be required
*either* to create a separate export shipment *or* to revise a previous
shipment to be processed by your system for transmission to AES.

The client representative will convey the method of transmitting test
data.

For each test question, insert the specified input data into the
appropriate data element fields for the specific test transaction.
Complete the transaction by using valid data in all other data element
fields. If these other data elements are not valid, the transaction will
be rejected by the AES system.

Some of the specified conditions may not be valid and should be rejected
as invalid transactions by your system. You should make a screen print
of these rejects and forward them to your AES client representative upon
request.

Notify your client representative when you have successfully transmitted
all test data.

Send each transaction as though it were the initial transmission of the
data unless otherwise specified in the test question.

This test must be taken by U.S. Principal Parties in Interest
(exporters), forwarding agents and vessel carriers or NVOCCs acting as
forwarding agents whose shipments designed for the transmission of
export commodity data are being transmitted through a service center,
port authority, or software vendor having been AES certified.
