Are You Making the Transition from the SED to AES?

For years, U.S. companies that shipped goods valued at more than $2,500 to anywhere other than Canada had to complete and submit a Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) along with their export shipments. That is changing.

The U.S. government has announced that it will eliminate the paper SED and will require exporters to electronically file this data through the Automated Export System (AES). In fact, if your company's products require an export license, you should have begun filing your SED information electronically through AES on October 18, 2003.

As part of this transition from the paper SED to AES, Census has announced it will be increasing the penalties for delays in filing through AES, failing to file at all, or filing inaccurate information 10-fold up to $10,000 per violation.

Our Shipping Solutions export documentation software makes it easy to correctly file the information that once appeared on the paper SED through AES. Just enter your export information on our EZ Start Screen, click a button, and Shipping Solutions will upload the data to the Automated Export System.

At the same time, you'll have entered in the information you need to quickly and easily create and print more than a dozen other standard export documents such as invoices, a packing list, bills of lading, and much, much more.
