DHL Electronic Export Filer
The Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) issued on June 2, 2008 revised export regulations that became effective July 2, 2008 requiring that all Electronic Export Information (EEI; formerly known as the Shippers Export Declaration) must be filed and accepted in the Automated Export System (AES) two hours before scheduled flight departure.
An Electronic Export Information (EEI) Filing (formerly known as SED) is required when:
1. An individual Schedule B/HTS item value exceeds US$2500 to all foreign destinations (except to Canada); or
2. An individual Schedule B/HTS item value exceeds US$2500 for shipment being shipped as follows:
  • from the U.S. to Puerto Rico;
    • from Puerto Rico to the U.S.;
      • from the U.S. or Puerto Rico to the U.S. Virgin Islands;
        • trans-shipped through or for storage in Canada, but ultimately destined to a third country;
          • exported under Carnets; or
            3. A shipment (regardless of value) is transported under an export license issued by the applicable U.S. Government agency (e.g., Dept of State, Dept of Commerce, etc.) including Canada destinations and including Carnets; or
            4. A shipment (regardless of value) is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) , including shipments exempt from licensing requirements and including shipments to Canada; or
            5. A shipment (regardless of value) contains rough diamonds (under Schedule B#’s 7102.10, 7102.21 and 7102.31, including shipments to Canada; or
            6. A shipment (regardless of value) is destined to a U.S. Department of Commerce authorized Validated End User (VEU); or
            7. A shipment (regardless of value other than personal correspondence or business records) is destined to restricted countries such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. (DHL Express USA currently does not provide Worldwide Priority Express (WPX) to these restricted countries unless pre-authorized by the Trade Compliance Department)
