AEP Exports

Preface
AEP is Revenues electronic system, which has been designed for the validation, processing, duty accounting and clearance of custom declarations. Revenue has been processing electronic import and export declarations since 1991. Since then, due to modern technologies and changes in European Regulation, Revenue has provided greater scope for flexibility and trader facilitation through the AEP system. Since July 2009 all export declarations will be required to be submitted electronically and in advance of the export of the goods, Export Declarations are submitted via the Revenue Online Service (ROS). This trader guide sets out the formats, definitions and business rules for the submission of Export Declarations through the Revenues system. A matrix of the SAD boxes, their description, formats and status. A brief description of terms used. A box by box guide and associated business rules. A summary of changes from the previously published Export Trader Guide.
