**********************************************************************
WE ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW ERA OF EXPORT COMPLIANCE
**********************************************************************
The Census Bureau’s Foreign Trade Division is excited to announce the publication of the
Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), Title 15, Part 30. The publication of the final rule implements
the provisions of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Public Law 107-228, requiring
mandatory filing of export information via the Automated Export System (AES). This final rule
was published in the Federal Register on June 2, 2008. The FTR will become effective 30 days
from the date of publication on July 2, 2008. We are also providing the trade an additional
90 days from the effective date to implement these new regulations. Implementation of the FTR
will occur on September 30, 2008. After the 90-day implementation period, you must file your
export information electronically through the AES. If you currently file paper Shipper’s Export
Declarations (SEDs), STOP!
After September 30, 2008, exporters that submit paper SEDs will be in violation of the FTR and
subject to penalties. Your export information must be filed electronically through the AES.
In addition, all exporters must adhere to the new filing timeframes determined by the mode of
transportation. These new regulations have tougher penalty provisions that will affect all parties
involved in the export process. It is important that you understand these new requirements so that
you avoid costly penalties.
If you have any questions with regards to the new regulations or the AES, please contact the
Foreign Trade Division on 800-549-0595. Select option 1 to reach the Automated Export Branch
for technical issues or option 3 to reach the Regulations, Outreach and Education Branch for
regulatory concerns. The entire FTR along with other information, including a list of frequently
asked questions, can also be found on our Website at www.census.gov/trade
