Do You Need Help with the SED?

Click HereIf your company exports goods with a value of more than $2,500 to anywhere other than Canada, you need to be completing and submitting a Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) with your export shipments. The U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Customs & Border Protection require the SED to calculate export statistics and ensure compliance with U.S. export regulations.

While previously you could file the SED on paper, new Federal Trade Regulations went into effect on July 2, 2008, requiring all exporters to stop using the paper SED and begin filing that information electronically through the Automated Export System (AES). Companies have until September 30, 2008 to comply.

Our Shipping Solutions export documentation software makes it easy to correctly complete the Shipper's Export Declaration and all the other standard export documents you need to ship your products to Canada, Mexico and most everywhere else in the world. In addition, it lets you file that information electronically through AES absolutely free!

Just enter your information into Shipping Solutions' EZ Start Screen and the software automatically completes the SED and more than a dozen other export forms up to 80% faster than you can do it by hand. And you just click a button to file your export information with the Automated Export System.

As part of this transition from the paper SED to AES, Census has increased 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.
