The Automated Export System (AES) Downtime Policy

When exporting goods valued at more than $2,500 per Schedule B number to anywhere other than Canada, companies usually must file their export information electronically to the Automated Export System (AES) through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) prior to the goods leaving the country.

But what if AES or ACE is not working? That’s when the AES Downtime Policy may be activated, and you can still ship if you meet certain conditions and if you follow the specific procedures.
