Automated Export System (AES) - Supply chain roles and responsibilities

Key information for exporting goods

It is important in AES that accurate information is used to complete export declarations. The correct Master Reference Number (MRN) must be passed along the export supply chain. All messages within the flow must be completed to ensure that export movements can be closed off properly.

Failure to provide accurate MRN information and failure to complete your role in supply chain could mean:

  • goods cannot be loaded or could be delayed at the port or airport
  • goods cannot leave Ireland or could be delayed leaving Ireland
  • goods will not reach or could be delayed reaching the consignee
  • and
  • declarants will not get the confirmation of Exit message (IE599) and as a result Revenue may have to take follow up action.
