Expedited Process – Customs Propriety Standard Only

A software vendor who has client(s) using their software program to support the AESDirect EDI Upload function may be eligible to have their software verified as AESDirect Certified. AESDirect reserves the right to require any software vendor to complete all or a portion of the Standard Certification process detailed below.

Standard Process:

Create a separate export shipment for each of the following conditions to be processed by your system and uploaded to AESDirect.

Insert the test question number in the marks and numbers field for identification. For each test question, insert the specified input data into the appropriate data element fields for the specific test shipment. Complete the shipment by using valid data in all other data element fields. If these other data elements are not valid, the transmission will be rejected by the AESDirect.

Some of the specified conditions may not be valid and should be rejected as invalid transmissions by your system. You should make a screen print of these rejects and forward them to your AES Census client representative.

Notify your AES Census client representative when all test data have been successfully transmitted.
