**********************************************************************
Common Questions - CBP Publishes AES Penalty Guidelines
**********************************************************************
In regards to AES Broadcast # 2009004 (CBP Publishes AES Penalty Guidelines)
disseminated on January 13, 2009, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
has received two common questions from the trade community that we would
like to clarify. In addition, the publication of the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection's Mitigation Guidelines does not change the requirements
in Title 15, Part 30, Foreign Trade Regulations.
Question: Is the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) required to
file the Electronic Export Information (EEI) in AES or can
an authorized agent file on the USPPI's behalf?
Answer: The U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI), the USPPI's
authorized agent, or the authorized U.S. agent of the Foreign
Principal Party in Interest (FPPI) shall file the EEI through
the AES. For further information regarding the requirements
and responsibilities of the parties involved in an export
transaction, see the Foreign Trade Regulations, Subpart A,
§30.3.
Question: Does the low value ($2500 value or less) filing exemption
still apply?
Answer: The low value exemption still applies. Export of commodities
where the value of the commodities, shipped from one
U.S. Principal Party in Interest to one consignee on a single
exporting carrier, classified under an individual Schedule B
number that is $2500 or less, are exempt from filing in the
AES. This applies to individual Schedule B numbers regardless
of total value of the shipment. Therefore, only report the
items that are valued over $2500 per Schedule B number, unless
a license is required.
For further information or questions regarding the CBP Published AES
Penalty Guidelines, please contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
Ms. Susan Terranova on 202-325-0009 or Mr. Christopher Pappas on
202-325-0109.
For further information or questions regarding the Foreign Trade Regulations,
please contact the U.S. Census Bureau's Regulations, Outreach and Education
Branch on 1-800-549-0595, menu option 3.
