December AgTC Conference Includes AES Seminar
The Agriculture Transportation Coalition’s (AgTC) Agriculture Transportation Mid-Year Conference, Dec. 10-11, 2008, in Chicago will now include a Special Automated Export System (AES) Seminar with the U.S. Census Bureau.
Electronic filing of export information is now mandatory, and stiff penalties apply (up to $10,000 per violation) for those who fail to file on time, or who file inaccurate information. Shippers who file "dummy" information (with the intention of later updating AES with correct information) should be aware that the regulations make the intentional submission of inaccurate data a violation subject to penalty. The seminar will explain how the AES rules have changed and what shippers need to know to avoid major fines.
