once your account has been re-established, you must file all shipments
that were exported under the AES Downtime Policy in accordance with the

submit shipments under the AES Downtime Policy. State Department

program transactions for shipments that moved under the AES Downtime
Policy must be filed along with any new AES transactions.
If you utilize the AES Downtime Policy for export, please contact the
port where you will export from. In lieu of the AES Proof of Filing
