How often do you call 1-800-549-0595 when you have questions regarding filing EEI? Ever emailed askAES@census.gov because you need clarification on filing EEI?
Support staff here at the Foreign Trade Division always aim to provide you accurate answers to your questions. However, there are times when we need pieces of information that are not always readily accessible to you. Here are a few tips on what information to include in your email or have ready when you make the call:
Usually the Filer ID is your company’s Employer Identification Number (EIN). If a freight forwarder submitted the EEI on your behalf, the forwarder must provide its EIN as that would be the Filer ID.
Providing you the tools to be compliant is our priority. Feel free to contact us with your questions at 1-800-549-0595 Option 1 or at askaes@census.gov.
