The third day of the BIS Update 2008 Conference brought an unexpected delightful surprise in Mrs. Dale C. Kelly, Acting Chief of the Regulations, Outreach, and Education Branch of the US Census Bureau. While speaking on a panel dedicated to discourse on Approaches to Compliance, Mrs. Kelly mentioned that companies can obtain up to a year's worth of AES records for free from the US Census Bureau.
Intrigued, I approached Mrs. Kelly after the panel and told her that my company had experienced difficulty, at times, in obtaining AES records from freight forwarders - especially where the company had severed its relationship with a freight forwarder. Mrs. Kelly told me that if I sent her an email, she would send me the process and form for obtaining the free information from Census. True to her word, I found her response to my email in my inbox this morning. In our conversation, she mentioned that it would help if the letter explained that the company was requesting the information for audit purposes. Despite my best efforts to find an internet resource for this information last night, I was unable to do so. So, here it is.
