Welcome to Trade Terms Tuesday! Each Tuesday the blog will feature three trade-related terms. In order to reach out to our diverse readership, we will provide one for exports, one for imports and one for logistics/transportation. This week, we start with the A’s. Even though we have three different terms this week, the terms are somewhat related because they all represent an electronic process.
Automated Export System (AES)
The Automated Export System (AES) is the electronic method used to transmit the required export information and manifest information directly to Customs & Border Protection. Prior to AES, the declaration was submitted using the paper, Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED). AES was designed to assure compliance with and enforcement of laws relating to exporting, improve trade statistics, reduce duplicate reporting to multiple agencies, and improve customer service. Penalties may be imposed for incorrect submissions.
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the new account-based processing system designed to consolidate and automate border processing to enhance border security and foster our Nation's economic security. ACE supports account-based import processing. Customs and the trade are able to use ACE to facilitate processing and analysis of entry activities in the aggregate rather than on a transaction-by-transaction basis. ACE reduces labor-intensive efforts and improves compliance efforts for both brokers and importers. ACE improves communication between CBP and the trade community, allows the trade to access their own trade data, and allows for sharing information with other government agencies.
Automated Manifest System (AMS)
The Automated Manifest System is an electronic cargo control and release notification system for air, sea, rail and truck carriers. AMS is used for cargo inventory control and cargo release notification. AMS interfaces with Customs Cargo Selectivity and the In Bond System, which expedites the flow of cargo and entry processing and provides participants with electronic authorization to move cargo. AMS also reduces the need for paper documents and expedites the processing of manifest and waybill data, thus allowing cargo to move from one point to another in less time. The National In Bond System, incorporated within AMS, provides a means of tracking and transporting merchandise from one port to another within the United States.
