Have you heard about Shipment Manager on AESDirect? Shipment Manager allows you to quickly view previously reported shipments, as well as keep track of all of the shipment responses you have received. Let’s take a look at how you can utilize this feature to keep track of your export reporting.

1. Log in to the website with your AESDirect username and password information
2. Select the Shipment Manager link from the Main Menu.

NOTE: If you use AESPcLink, you may access Shipment Manager by selecting the Shipment Manager link on the left hand navigation bar or by visiting the AESDirect website. Your username and password provide access to both AESDirect and AESPcLink.

• To search for a specific shipment by Shipment Reference Number (SRN) or Internal Transaction Number (ITN), click on the Retrieve a Shipment tab.
• If you don’t have an SRN or ITN, or you want to conduct a broader search, click on ‘Search for shipments by’ and select one of the predetermined searches. You can search for Today’s Activity, Yesterday’s Activity, and Last 7 Days for either the date of filing or date of export.

NOTE: Your AESDirect account allows you to view only the Electronic Export Information for shipments filed under your account. If you want to see all shipments filed on your behalf, submit a Data Request to our Trade Outreach Branch.

Sometimes your search may generate too many shipment results. Select Filter your Search to limit results by country of ultimate destination, USPPI ID, Port of Export or License Type, to name a few. The search results will show on screen with detailed information.

• Retrieve, delete, print or use a specific shipment as a template for future shipments.
• View shipments which have generated Fatal Errors, Verify Messages or Compliance alerts, and use the on screen help to learn how to resolve these issues.
• Use the Download option to export the results as a spreadsheet file.
• Select Save Search to keep the search criteria you want to reuse in the future. When you return to Shipment Manager, click on Saved Searches and choose the one you want to use.
