## Reduce Exporting Stress

***Reduce Exporting Stress***
***with***
***AES***

##  Process Flow 

- Using AES Developed Software, AES Certified Service Center or AES*Direct*, USPPI/US Agent (Filer) transmits commodity (SED) shipment information including the booking number for vessel shipments

- Data are processed for validity against edit tables and U.S. Agency requirement files

- Once AES accepts the shipment, a confirmation number is assigned

- AES rejects the shipment if certain information is invalid or incomplete.  These rejections result in fatal errors, and must be corrected before cargo is exported. AES generates warning messages that will not reject the shipment, but must be corrected within four days.

- Filer delivers cargo and exemption statement to carrier

- Filer transmits ID Number and Shipment Reference Number = XTN.

- Confirmation Number = ITN

- No SED AES XTN
- NDR ITN
- AES XTN
