AES New Operational Date
As part of the Union Customs Code (UCC) Work Programme, Revenue had planned to deploy its new Export System, known as the Automated Export System (AES), to replace our existing AEP export system and export eManifest on 30 January 2023. We have been working collaboratively with all stakeholders in the export supply chain towards this end.
In early January Revenue received a series of requests from the EU Commission, DG TAXUD, for changes to the AES systems specifications. The requested changes primarily impact internal messages between Revenue, the EU Commission and other Member States, but there are changes that impact some trader messages. Given the late receipt of these change requests and to allow adequate time for the upgrading of Revenue and trader systems, the new system will not now become operational until 21 March 2023.
We will maintain the two-month migration window to facilitate trade in the move from AEP to AES. The new dates are:
· Go-Live of AES – 21 March 2023
· End of Transition Period – 21 May 2023
