In an email sent February 9, 2016, the U.S. Census Bureau announced a revised timeline for the transition dates for filers using the legacy AESDirect portal at aesdirect.census.gov and the AESPcLink application. The announcement was not intended for filers using AESWEBLink and AESDirect EDI Upload. Under the revised timeline, beginning February 29, 2016 AESDirect legacy accounts will be closed out per the schedule below. The dates for this transition are based on the two-digit prefix of the registered Filer ID. Revised Transition Schedule:
The Refactored AESDirect system in the Automated Commercial Environment was launched November 30, 2015, and since then filers have submitted over 160,000 accepted shipments using the new system. As part of the transition of AESDirect to the ACE Portal, the ability to file Electronic Export Information via legacy AESDirect at aesdirect.census.gov and the AESPcLink application will be terminated in stages over the next two months. It is important for exporters to have secured ACE Exporter access and have taken the necessary steps to begin filing in the Refactored AESDirect system in ACE prior to their mandatory transition date. Filing in the Refactored AESDirect system does not require vetting or Reports Authorization. Vetting is only required for those companies looking to obtain export reports access outside of the AESDirect Shipment Manager. For more information regarding the transition, please see Census’ ACE AESDirect Resources page. Exporters can also contact the U.S. Census Bureau's Data Collection Branch (Telephone: (800) 549-0595, select option 1 for Data Collection Branch). If you have questions about this or other international trade matters, please contact George Tuttle, III, at geo@tuttlelaw.com or at (415) 986-8780. George R. Tuttle, III, is an attorney with the Law Offices of George R. Tuttle in the San Francisco Bay Area.
