Provide Accurate Data and Avoid Costly Penalties and Seizures
New Requirements, Tougher Penalties
It is imperative that you understand the new requirements of the
FTR and how to avoid possible penalties and seizure of your
commodities. In addition it is vital to provide accurate
and complete data in efforts to help the trade make sound
business decisions. The Census Bureau now requires
mandatory filing of export information through the Automated
Export System (AES) or through the AESDirect for all shipments
where a Shipper’s Export Declaration was previously
required. 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. In accordance with the FTR, all parties to the
export transaction are subject to the fines and penalties.
Additionally, all AES filers are faced with new filing deadlines
by mode of transportation for reporting export information.
The Foreign Trade Division is actively engaged in educational outreach to help you avoid these costly penalties. We provide seminars and workshops both in English and Spanish to help you understand the new requirements of the FTR.
