What is an EEI?
An electronic export information (EEI) should be filed by companies registered in the US. The document should be filed by companies that export goods, mentioned in the Schedule B, valued at more than $2,500. Formerly known as Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED), an EEI should be filed in case an export license is required to export the goods.
An EEI is filed using the Automatic Export System (AES). Previously, exporters used to send export information to the CBP manually on paper in the form of the Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED) form. The CBP used this form to compile trade statistics. However, more than half of the documents contained errors. Therefore, to address this issue, the CBP introduced AES. Initially, filing an EEI electronically was optional, but in 2008, AES filing was made compulsory.
If you’re working with exports, an Exporter of Record can handle the EEI filing process, ensuring everything complies with U.S. export regulations. With their expertise, handling these filings properly can help prevent delays or errors that may arise during the submission process.
