 October - March 2014 AES legacy and ACE/AES dual processing incoming Trade filings  January 15, 2014 CERT environment ready for trade testing  March 22, 2014 Export commodity functionality is operationally deployed in ACE/AES for CBP and PGAs (No Trade Impact) Includes all current AES legacy functionality including Option 4 Post Departure Filing AES legacy turned off  April 5, 2014 Census regulation changes integrated in new ACE/AES Advance Export Information (AEI) functionality available but not turned on pending Census/OFO FRN and pilot start date Key Dates - Exports 5

 Implement a single window in the reengineered AES that allows the CBP user to view all commodity, enforcement, licensing and findings data from a single application.  Leverage ACE functionality development on imports to provide a means in exports for additional services for CBP, PGAs and the trade community. AES Reengineering 6

 Bureau of the Census: The reengineered AES will include the following enhancements for Census Bureau regulatory changes: Post-departure filing times changed from Ten (10) to Five (5) calendar days from the date of exportation Added Ultimate Consignee Type and Added License Value Foreign Trade Zone Identifier increased from Five to Seven alpha-numeric characters AES Enhancements - Census 7
