ACE Export Reports

The ACE Export Reports are transactional export data by Employer ID Number (EIN) from AES and are now accessible via the ACE Secure Data Portal. These reports serve as a replacement to the export data we previously provided to the filer and/or U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI), per request. The information contained in these reports continues to be confidential transactional export data from the AES and should not be disclosed for nonofficial purposes per the Foreign Trade Regulations, Section 30.60.

Current ACE Import Account Holder - All EINs on the import side that are established Automatically access their AES Trade Reports and do not require vetting Designated TAO upon registration

New Users - The TAO must register your company or parent company. It is imperative that the principal EIN is registered by the TAO and all subsequent EINs are added to that account after it is established. Once companies have access to the system, they will be able to create an account and manage their account. The TAO is usually a parent company who will have access to add and manage accounts for their subsidiaries (Trade Account Users). Register multiple EINs to be registered under one main account (referred to as the Top Account) Companies operating under one EIN will be designated as the Top Account upon registration
