The holidays are fast approaching and you are trying to send one of those new electronic devices to a relative out of the United States. You go to your post office and they tell you that since the value of your gift is over $2,500 per classification code, you need to report this export shipment through AESDirect. However, when you go to the AESDirect website, you see that the registration form talks about companies and Filer IDs. You start to wonder if you need to complete this since the website seems to be mostly designed for companies.
Please note that the filing requirement for export shipments valued over $2,500 per Schedule B applies to both companies and individuals. You are required to comply with this regulation whether you frequently have export transactions or this is an “once-in-a-lifetime” situation.
What do you need to be able to register and create an account? AESDirect registrants should be physically located in the United States. If you are not, you will need to contact a U.S. based agent or freight forwarder to submit your Electronic Export Information (EEI).
Once you complete and successfully submit the form, you will receive an email to set up your username and password and continue with the registration process. Then you will have full access to the AESDirect application and be able to complete the required EEI with the resources we have available on the website.
