Click the Export (AES/SED) link on the SmartBorder Main Page
You’ll want to begin by getting familiar with the menu options on the screens of the Automated Export System module. Once you’ve created your shipper’s export declaration (SED), you will return to this transaction screen to perform the transmissions associated with the AES transaction. Completing your AES transaction may require that you review some other portions of this manual, in order to become familiar with other modules of SmartBorder (ex. Billing).
