Understanding and Complying with the New Foreign Trade Regulation (FTR) Requirements:

Starting October 1, 2008, the Census Bureau will re­quire mandatory filing of export information through the Automated Export System (AES) or through AESDirect for all shipments where a paper Shipper’s Export Declaration is required. Penalties may be imposed for the delayed filing, failure to file, false filing of export information, and/or using the AES to further any illegal activity. Also, all AES filers will face new filing deadlines by mode of transportation for reporting export information. For more information, visit www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aes.

It is imperative you understand these new requirements to avoid possible penalties and seizure of your commodities. To this end, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Foreign Trade Division and the U.S. Commercial Service are offering a series of webinars designed to educate U.S. exporters on these new regulations. Webinar topics will be divided into five modules:

Data Elements covers the mandatory, conditional and optional fields in AES.
Filing Requirements covers who, what, when, and how to file export transactions.
Parties to an Export Transaction & Their Responsibilities covers each party’s responsibility as it relates to a standard export and routed export transactions.
AES Overview provides highlights of the AES.
Informed & Enforced Compliance covers topics such as penalties, mitigation, voluntary self-disclosure and corrections. Register at www.export.gov/logistics/aes/doc_eg_aes.asp
