EXPORT DOCUMENTATION |
Miscellaneous Electronic Export Information (EEI), formally known as a Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) is a U.S. Government process for collecting export trade statistics and for export enforcement. The information is filed in the Automated Export System (AES) and all filings must be made electronically. A paper form is no longer acceptable.Shipments to Canada from the U.S. are exempt from this requirement. The EEI is not required for shipments from the U.S. to Canada unless the merchandise is subject to ITAR, requires an export license or permit, or is rough diamonds. Also used self-propelled vehicles require an AES Filing, regardless of value, and the filing must take place 72 hours prior to the export of the vehicle. Shippers filing directly with the Census Bureau must supply the AES Internal Transaction Number (ITN) at the time of pickup by UPS. The ITN should be placed on the thermal label or on the invoice as close to the total value as possible. |
