Revised Transition Dates for AESDirect and AESPcLink Users
NOTE: The transition timeframes to phase out the AESDirect legacy accounts have been REVISED. On February 29, 2016, accounts will be closed out per the schedule below. The dates for this transition are based upon the two-digit prefix of the registered Filer ID. This message is not intended for filers using AESWebLink and AESDirect EDI Upload. It is strictly for the attention of filers using the legacy AESDirect portal at aesdirect.census.gov and the AESPcLink application.
The Refactored AESDirect system in the Automated Commercial Environment was launched on November 30, 2015. Since that time, 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. All legacy AESDirect filers will be notified of their mandatory transition date to the Refactored AESDirect system upon login and be provided a specific date their account will be closed off based upon their Filer ID.
Revised Transition Schedule:
Prefixes 00-19 on 02/29/2016
Prefixes 20-39 on 03/14/2016
Prefixes 40-59 on 03/28/2016
Prefixes 60-79 on 04/11/2016
Prefixes 80-99 on 04/25/2016
Please make sure you have secured ACE Exporter access and have taken the necessary steps to begin filing in the Refactored AESDirect system in ACE prior to your mandatory transition date.
As a reminder, you 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 our AESDirect Transition to ACE – Refactored AESDirect page at http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aes/aesdirect/transitiontoace.html
