Important Update for Filing the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED)
Effective July 2, 2008, the Census Bureau is requiring mandatory filing of export information through the Automated Export System (AES), or through the AESDirect for all shipments where a Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED) is required.
These new regulations have tougher penalty provisions that affect everyone in the export process. Penalties may be imposed per violation of the FTR from $1,100 to $10,000 both civil and criminal, for the delayed filing, failure to file, false filing of export information, and/or using the AES to further any illegal activity. Also, all AES filers are faced with new filing deadlines by mode of transportation for reporting export information.
