A CustomsAES Filing is
required for most exports of merchandise from the United States to a foreign
country if the merchandise is valued at $2,500 or more by Schedule B number.
However, the origin of the goods, either domestic or foreign, is also
considered.
There are three
parties that can file the EEI data with AES: the U.S. Principal Party in
Interest (USPPI), the USPPI's authorized agent or the authorized agent of the
Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI).
During AES development, a
Trade Resource Group convened regularly. To ensure that all voices were heard,
the group was comprised of large and small exporters, carriers, freight
forwarders, port authorities, and non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCC).
At the trade's request, separate coalitions for exporters and software vendors
were formed.
At the start,
position papers were collected from trade associations to determine what AES
data requirements and automation capabilities should be included in AES. Public meetings were held around
the country and comments were collected at each meeting in order to receive
feedback from the trade community. This partnership with the trade continues as
AES evolves. In 1998, Interest-Based Negotiations between the government and
the trade generated enhancements to AES which provides filing options for
exporters and their agents.
