The U.S. Census Bureau said it has picked Flagship Customs Services to
develop its Internet link to the Automated Export System.
The service will allow exporters of any size to file their shippers
export declarations to AES free of charge. Census sought bids in April for
a software provider to develop and manage the Internet service.
Flagship, based in Silver Spring, Md., will begin developing the service
this month. Census expects the system to be operational by Oct. 1, said C.
Harvey Monk Jr., chief of Census’ Foreign Trade Division.
The agency hopes that the Internet service will ease the transition of
moving from paper-based filing of shippers’ export declarations to an
electronic format.
