AES filing with Export Documentation Manager

Operating in conjunction with Descartes Visual Compliance™ Export Documentation Manager, Descartes Visual Compliance’s AES filing solution performs pre-submission compliance and verification checks.

This significantly increases the acceptance rate by U.S. CBP, and facilitates the timely generation of the Internal Transaction Number (ITN), which is required 1 to 24 hours prior to the actual export, depending on the mode of transport being used.
