When do I fill out a Shipper's Export Declaration?

When a shipment is over $2,500 or when an export license is required (regardless of value), a SED is necessary. This includes shipments by US post, as well as shipments to or through the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This information is used by the Foreign Trade Division of the US Census Bureau to track US export statistics (import data is collected by US Customs). The only country that does not need a SED is Canada. If your product requires an export license, you are now required to submit your SED electronically through the Automated Export System (AES). It might be a good idea to start filing your SED electronically now, as it saves us and your money, and will be required for all shipments in the near future.

If you are ready to export and need more information please tell us more about you .
