January 31, 2014 – CBP/OFO published a Federal Register Notice announcing an AEI pilot that sets forth the eligibility requirements and details of the pilot.
• AEI will require the filing of 10-12 data elements pre-departure with the remaining data elements to be filed 5 days after departure/export.
• AEI functionality will be available in the new ACE/AES platform.
• However the AEI functionality will not be turned on in the new ACE/AES platform until Census and CBP evaluate the results of the pilot and approve the deployment of AEI in ACE/AES.
• The existing AES post-departure filing option (Option 4) will be available in the new ACE/AES platform. (for all existing & approved Option 4 filers)
