AES Compliance Report Details

Contents:


Overview

The AES Branch is required, by regulation 15CFR, Part 30.62 (a) (3), to identify inconsistencies in AES data and make recommendations that will result in the appropriate corrective actions by the participant. The AES Compliance Report is used for that purpose.

The AES Compliance Report displays the following for each company:

  • The number of shipments for the last three statistical months;
  • The number of compliance alerts for the last three statistical months;
  • Warning, Compliance Alert, and Statistical Verification detail for the last three statistical months--see descriptions below;
  • The percent of change in the number of shipments from the current to the previous statistical month;
  • The compliance rate for the current statistical month (calculated by dividing the Number of Compliance Alerts by the Number of Shipments, subtracted from 100%).
  • Details based on whether the shipments were filed late through Option 2 (Error Response 700) or Option 4 (Error Response 701).

When a participant’s compliance rate is found to be unacceptable, the AES Branch will work closely with the participant to help to improve the compliance rate and the quality of AES filings. Note: If your report contains late filed shipments, the compliance rate WILL NOT be re-calculated after corrections are made to the Date of Export.

Verify and Informational Conditions are provided on the Compliance Report for your information. When Commodity verify conditions have been verified to be true and the same verify condition is issued repeatedly for the same classification number, a parameter adjustment is possible. Please see Commodity Parameter Change Request below. Note: Verify and Informational Conditions are not included in the AES compliance rate.
