Do You Need Help with the SED?

Click HereIf your company exports goods valued at more than $2,500 to anywhere other than Canada, you need to be submitting your export information to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Census Bureau uses this information to calculate export statistics and shares it with U.S. Customs & Border Protection to ensure compliance with U.S. export regulations.

While previously you could file this information on a Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) paper form, current Foreign Trade Regulations prohibit exporters from using the paper SED and instead requires them to file that information electronically through the Automated Export System (AES).

Our Shipping Solutions export documentation software makes it easy to correctly file your Electronic Export Information through AES with no hassles and with absolutely no filing fee! Just enter your information into Shipping Solutions' EZ Start Screens, and the software automatically prepares the AES information while also completing more than a dozen other export forms such as invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, bills of lading, and much, much more. And Shipping Solutions software allows you to create all your paperwork up to five-times faster than you can do by hand.

It's important to file correctly since Census regulations include penalties of up to $10,000 per violation for delays in filing through AES, failing to file at all, or filing inaccurate information. And while you can pay your freight forwarder or another third party to file on your behalf, your company is still legally liable for the accuracy of the information that is filed. That's why more and more companies are using Shipping Solutions software to file through AES themselves.
