How much will it cost to implement the Automated Export System (AES) in my company?
The cost to implement the AES will vary depending on the size and needs of your organization. There are several options available to you.You can use AESDirect or AESPcLink, which is the Census Bureau’s FREE Internet based filing method. Another option is to develop your own software from the specifications found in the AES Trade Interface Requirements (AESTIR). The AESTIR can be found on the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website, http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/automated/aes/tech_docs/aestir/. You may also purchase a software package from an AES certified vendor, which has been tested and approved by the Census Bureau and CBP. Lastly, you may transmit your export information through a service center, port authority or an authorized agent filing on your behalf. The cost will be proportionate to the sophistication of the system you choose.
