What happens if the Automated Export System (AES), AESDirect, or the AES participant's system is unavailable?
For Non-United States Munitions List (USML) shipments : If the AES participant’s system is unavailable, the filer must delay the export of goods or find an alternative filing method. See FTR section 30.4 (b)(3). If the AES or AESDirect is unavailable, the goods may be exported and the filer must provide the appropriate filing citation as described in FTR section 30.7(b) and Appendix D when notified via AES Broadcast Message that the downtime policy is in effect. The Electronic Export Information (EEI) must be reported at the first opportunity the AES is available. A follow up message will be sent via AES Broadcast when the system is running and the policy is no longer in effect. The downtime citation format is AESDOWN Filer ID mm/dd/yyyy. For United Stated Munitions List (USML) shipments: If the AES participant’s system is unavailable, the filer must delay the export of goods or find an alternative filing method. If the AES or AESDirect is unavailable, the filer shall not export until AES is operating and an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) is acquired. See FTR section 30.4 (b)(1).
