Making a better AES

Making a better AES Census grapples with balancing export data demands, commercial realities.

When the U.S. Census Bureau earlier this year proposed significant changes to how export data is filed through the Automated Export System, the agency realized it would invoke numerous comments and questions from exporters and freight forwarders who use the system.
Census is analyzing those comments and has expressed a general willingness to work with the industry to find the best way to align the nation’s export trade data and enforcement requirements with commercial realities.
