EXPORT DOCUMENTATION

MiscellaneousElectronic 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.

CLEARANCE INFORMATION

Clearance Comments
For customs clearance issues, the receiver needs to give a Power of Attorney (POA) approved by a notary and a valid tax number. This POA is given only once and is valid until expiration date mentioned by the customer (up to 5 years). Whatever the billing term is, without a POA from the consignee, it is not possible to submit any clearance declaration to customs.

Individuals can only import goods for their personal use and are not allowed to import goods for commercial purposes. The consignee may also request clearance by an alternate broker. If the consignee requests clearance by an alternate broker, the system is keyed with POD when the paperwork (clearance documents ) are delivered or picked up. After the paperwork delivery, UPS liability is over. Even if a shipment is custom cleared by an alternate broker or the consignee, UPS still delivers the shipment to the consignee address without any charges after final customs clearance.

Important Notice: The shipments need to be customs cleared or returned within 20 days after the arrival or they are seized by customs. After customs seizure, UPS liability is over. It is not allowed to import used, second hand goods without permission from the Undersecretary of Customs.

Customs seizes shipments not cleared or returned to the shipper within 20 days.The consignee must sign and pay for all dutiable shipments, and a contact telephone number is required for all shipments.In order to do customs clearance UPS needs POA (power of attorney) from the importer. The consignee may also request clearance by alternate broker or may do customs clearance on their own. Even if the clearance is done by an alternate broker or the consignee, UPS delivers the shipment to the consignee address without any charges after final customs clearance.
