Automatic Export System (AES) is a system used by US exporters to electronically declare their international exports, known as Electronic Export Information (EEI), to the Census Bureau to assist compiles US export and trade statistics. This information is also shared with the Industrial and Security Bureau, the Directorate of Defense Trade Control, and other federal agencies involved in the monitoring and validation of US exports. Previously this declaration was only made on paper on the Sender Export Form form.
Until November 30, 2015, exporters may submit EEI electronically to AES using the AESDirect website, AESPCLink software, or other AES compatible apps. However, after the launch of Commercial Auto Environments (ACE) 2015, all AESDirect inheritance and other users must register and submit the EEI to ACE. After the EEI/SED has been successfully submitted and processed, the sender receives a Internal Transaction Number (ITN) to submit to the shipping document, as a confirmation to the government agency checking the cargo prior to departure.
In many cases, the sender may also authorize a freight forwarder, courier company, or other third party logistics agency to file an EEI on his behalf.

Requirements
EEI is generally required when one commodity on a given delivery exceeds its value. There are four conditions which require the submission of an EEI regardless of the value of: a) if the export destination is Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria; b) if the shipment requires an export license or permit; c) if it is subject to the International Traders Traffic Rules; or d) if it contains rough diamonds. Incidentally, shipments from the United States to Canada that exceed its value do not require EEI unless it is in condition b) through d) above.
Shipping to and from Puerto Rico should be treated like any other "international export" under EEI terms. On the other hand, cargo destinations to American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and most other US regions are treated as domestic shipments and do not require EEI. The US Virgin Islands is a special case: shipments from the region to the US or Puerto Rican plains are treated as "domestic", but cargo that leads in the other direction is considered "international".

Information collected
Among the data required to file an EEI include the following:
- US Preferred Major Interest (USPPI) : names and addresses of sellers or US-based primary parties who benefit from sending.
- Employer Identification Number (EIN) from USPPI - the same as the corporate IRS # Taxpayer ID.
- Primary recipient: the name and address of the party receiving the shipment in the end.
- Whether USPPI and the final beneficiary are "related" companies: if one party owns directly or indirectly at least 10 percent of the other.
- Destination country
- Date of departure: export date out of country
- Country of origin: the primary US state of origin of the shipment. If commodities coming from different warehouses are being consolidated into one shipment, then the country whose warehouse has the greatest commodity, or the country in which all consolidation takes place.
- Transport mode: whether by air, boat, train, or by truck.
- Export port: airport, seaport, or port of entry where the shipment will actually be taken out of the United States. This is represented by a 4-digit "Port Code". This does not mean the wardrobe port of the original warehouse. For example, if a cargo from Denver has to use international flights directly from San Francisco to Tokyo, then the export port will be the San Francisco Airport, not the Denver Airport.
- Whether it is a "Routed Transaction": The Directed Export Transaction is an export transaction in which an interested foreign party (Beneficiary) authorizes a US forwarding or other agent to facilitate the export of goods from the United States. In continued export transactions, the Partial Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) remains an entity in the United States that receives the main monetary benefits or other export transactions.
- Whether the delivery contains hazardous materials.
- A description of each commodity shipped, including Harmonization Tariff Schedule codes, weight, customs value, quantity, and if any require an export license or permit.
