Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): Mandatory Automated Export 
System Filing for All Shipments Requiring Shipper's Export Declaration 
Information: Proposed Substantive Changes and Corrections

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce Department.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) proposes to amend its 
regulations to reflect new export reporting requirements. Specifically, 
the Census Bureau is proposing to require mandatory filing of export 
information through the Automated Export System (AES) or through 
AESDirect for all shipments of used self-propelled vehicles, temporary 
exports and household goods. The Census Bureau is also proposing to 
modify the postdeparture filing program by changing the filing time 
frame from ten (10) calendar days to five (5) calendar days and only 
allowing postdeparture reporting for approved commodities. In addition 
to the new export reporting requirements and the modifications to the 
postdeparture filing program, the proposed rule would make remedial 
changes to the FTR to improve clarity and to correct errors. These 
changes are discussed in detail in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
section.

DATES: Submit written comments on or before March 22, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Please direct all written comments on this proposed rule to 
the Associate Director for Economic Programs, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 
8H132, Washington, DC 20233. You may also submit comments, identified 
by RIN number 0607-AA50, to the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. All comments received are a part of the public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Census Bureau is responsible for collecting, compiling, and 
publishing export trade statistics for the United States under the 
provisions of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, Section 
301. The AES is the primary instrument used for collecting export trade 
data, which is used by the Census Bureau for statistical purposes only. 
Through the AES, the Census Bureau collects Electronic Export 
Information (EEI), the electronic equivalent of the export data 
formerly collected on the Shipper's Export Declaration, reported 
pursuant to Title 15 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 30. The EEI 
consists of data elements set forth at 15 CFR 30.6 for an export 
shipment, and includes information such as the exporter's personal 
identifying information, which includes name, address and 
identification number, and detailed information concerning the exported 
product. Other Federal government agencies use the EEI for export 
control purposes to detect and prevent the export of certain items by 
unauthorized parties or to unauthorized destinations or end users. The 
EEI is exempt from public disclosure unless the Secretary of Commerce 
determines under the provisions of Title 13, U.S.C., Chapter 9, Section 
301(g), that such exemption would be contrary to the national interest.

Program Requirements

    To comply with the requirements of the Foreign Relations 
Authorization Act, Public Law 107-228, the Census Bureau is amending 
relevant sections of the FTR to reflect new export reporting 
requirements.
    The Census Bureau is proposing to amend the following sections of 
the FTR:
     Revise the table of contents in Sec.  30.28 by removing 
the quotations and the words by air because split shipments applies to 
all modes of transportation.
     Revise Sec.  30.1(c) to add the terms and definitions for 
``Commercial loading document,'' ``Diplomatic pouch,'' ``Electronic CBP 
Form 214 Admissions (e214),'' ``Filer ID,'' ``Foreign port of 
unlading,'' ``Household goods,'' ``International waters,'' ``Issued 
banknote,'' ``Mass-market software,'' ``Non Vessel Operating Common 
Carrier (NVOCC),'' ``Shipping documents,'' ``Transshipment,'' 
``Value,'' and ``Voluntary self-disclosure'' to clarify the use of 
these terms in the FTR.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``AES downtime 
filing citation'' to clarify that the downtime citation cannot be used 
when the filer's system is down or experiences delays.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Annotation'' 
by removing the reference to an exclusion legend and to add the word 
``commercial'' prior to the words ``loading documents.'' This revision 
is necessary to clarify that the exclusion legend is no longer required 
and to note that the FTR only references commercial loading documents; 
therefore, the word ``commercial'' is added before all references to 
the words ``loading documents.''
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Automated 
Export System Trade Interface Requirements (AESTIR)'' to clarify that 
the document also includes technical requirements.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), remove the definition for ``Automated 
Foreign Trade Zone Reporting Program (AFTZRP)'' because the program is 
no longer in existence. The definition for ``Electronic CBP Form 214 
Admissions (e214)'' is added to replace the AFTZRP.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), add the term and definition ``Commercial 
loading document'' because the FTR only references commercial loading 
documents. Therefore, the term and definition for ``Loading document'' 
is removed from this section
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Country of 
ultimate destination'' to reference Sec.  30.6(a)(5).
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``End user'' 
to clarify that the end user is the entity abroad, known at the time of 
export by the USPPI, who ultimately uses the exported or reexported 
items.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), remove the term and definition ``Export 
value'' because this term is not used in the FTR and cite the term and 
definition ``Value''.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Filers'' to 
remove the word ``system'' after the acronym ``AES.''
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Foreign 
principal party in interest (FPPI)'' to clarify that the FPPI is the 
party that purchases the goods for export.

[[Page 4003]]

     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the term and definition for 
``Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)'' to include 
the correct title and abbreviation and remove references to CBP since 
it is not the only agency that uses the HTSUSA.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Manifest'' 
by removing the reference to an exclusion legend. The USPPIs and 
authorized agents are no longer required to place an exclusion legend 
on the bill of lading, air waybill, export shipping instructions, or 
other commercial loading documents.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Port of 
export'' to clarify the port for transshipments through Canada or 
Mexico.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for 
``Postdeparture filing'' to clarify that only approved commodities 
exported by approved USPPIs can be filed postdeparture. In addition, 
the Postdeparture filing time frame is changed from ten (10) calendar 
days to five (5) calendar days for export control and enforcement 
purposes.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Power of 
attorney'' to include a reference to Appendix A.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Shipment'' 
to clarify that except as noted in Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv), the EEI shall 
be filed when the value of the goods is over $2,500 per Schedule B 
number.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Shipment 
reference number'' to clarify that the reuse of the shipment reference 
number is prohibited.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Shipper's 
Export Declaration (SED)'' to clarify the date the paper SED became 
obsolete.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Split 
shipment'' to clarify that split shipments apply to all modes of 
transportation and that the goods must leave on the same day.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection'' to correct errors in grammar.
     In Sec.  30.1(c), revise the definition for ``Written 
Authorization'' to include reference to Appendix A.
     In Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv), add paragraphs (H) and (I) to 
include the new filing requirements for reporting used self-propelled 
vehicles and household goods. These types of shipments will be required 
to be filed in the AES regardless of value or country of destination. 
However, shipments of household goods consigned to U.S. government 
agencies and employees for their exclusive use are exempt from this 
requirement.
     In Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv), revise paragraph (E) to include 
the exemptions for shipments to Country Group E:1 based on 15 CFR 734 
and 740.
     In Sec.  30.2(a), revise paragraph (2) to reflect the 
correct Web site for the Automated Export System Trade Interface 
Requirements document.
     Revise Sec.  30.2(b)(3) to reflect that the AES downtime 
procedures cannot be used when the computer system of an AES 
participant is unavailable for transmission.
     In Sec.  30.2(d), revise the introductory text to clarify 
that an exclusion legend is not required on the bill of lading, air 
waybill, export shipping instructions, or other commercial loading 
documents.
     Revise Sec.  30.2(d)(2) to clarify that Puerto Rico and 
the U.S. Virgin Islands are not excluded from filing the EEI.
     Revise the parenthetical phrase in Sec.  30.2(d)(4), by 
removing the word ``by'' and adding in its place the word ``to.''
     In Sec.  30.2(d), add a new paragraph (5) to include the 
new exclusion for goods licensed by a U.S. federal government agency 
where the country of ultimate destination is the United States or goods 
destined to international waters where the person(s) or entity assuming 
control of the item(s) is a citizen or permanent resident alien of the 
United States or a juridical entity organized under the laws of the 
United States or a jurisdiction within the United States
     Revise Sec.  30.3(b)(2) to clarify that a foreign entity 
must be in the United States at the time goods are purchased or 
obtained for export in order to be listed as a USPPI.
     Revise Sec.  30.3(b)(2)(iii) by removing the word

revision clarifies that the U.S. order party directly arranges for the 
sale and export of goods for the foreign party located abroad.
     In Sec.  30.3(b), add paragraph (4) to include carriers as 
a party to the export transaction.
     Revise Sec.  30.3(c)(1)(ii)(A) to include the required 
information to be provided to the authorized agent in an export 
transaction. This language is consistent with the requirements for 
providing information in a routed export transaction.
     Revise Sec.  30.3(c)(2)(ii) to clarify that the power of 
attorney or written authorization comes from the USPPI in a standard 
transaction.
     In Sec.  30.3(c), add paragraph (3) to clarify carrier 
responsibilities as it pertains to the FTR.

export transaction to the authorized agent.
     Revise Sec.  30.3(e)(2) to include the requirement that an 
authorized agent must provide the USPPI with the Internal Transaction 
Number and Date of export when the agent files the EEI in a routed 
transaction. In addition, if known, the agent shall provide the 
ultimate consignee type in the AES.
     Revise Sec.  30.4(a)(6) to clarify that shipments where 
complete outbound manifests are required prior to clearing vessels 
going directly to the countries identified in U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection regulations 19 CFR 4.75(c) and aircraft going directly or 
indirectly to those countries must be filed predeparture.

Shipments between the United States and Puerto Rico must file the 
export information and have the proof of filing citation, postdeparture 
filing citation, or exemption citation by the time the shipment arrives 
at the port of unloading.
     Revise Sec.  30.4(b) to add paragraph (4) to include the 
new filing timeframe requirement for used self-propelled vehicles as 
defined in 19 CFR 192.1 of U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
regulations.
     Revise Sec.  30.4(c) and Sec.  30.5(c) to clarify that 
only approved commodities exported by approved USPPIs can be filed 
postdeparture. In addition, the postdeparture filing time frame has 
changed from ten (10) calendar days to five (5) calendar days.
     Revise Sec.  30.4(d) to remove the reference to an 
exclusion legend. The USPPIs and authorized agents are no longer 
required to place an exclusion legend on the bill of lading, air 
waybill, export shipping instructions, or other commercial loading 
documents.
     Revise Sec.  30.5 to clarify the postdeparture approval 
procedures. Certification and approval requirements were strengthened 
to address U.S. national security concerns and interest. Under the 
proposed postdeparture filing requirements, postdeparture reporting 
will only be permitted for commodities on the approved list for 
postdeparture filing. This list can be found at http://www.census.gov/aes. Any commodities not included on the approved list must be reported 
prior to exportation and all current USPPI's previously approved for

reported in the license code/license exemption code field.
     In Sec.  30.6(b), redesignate paragraphs (1) through (3)

ultimate consignee shall be identified according to one of the types 
listed above that best describes its function. If at the time of 
filing, the USPPI or authorized agent knows the ultimate consignee 
type, that information must be reported in the AES. If more than one 
type applies to the ultimate consignee, report the type that applies 
most often.
     Revise Sec.  30.7(b) to remove the reference to an 
exclusion legend. The USPPIs and authorized agents are no longer 
required to place an exclusion legend on the bill of lading, air

air waybill, or other commercial loading documents with the proof of 
filing citations, and exemption legends.
     In Sec.  30.8(a), remove the citation ``Sec.  30.2'' and

which states the requirements for filing export information by pipeline 
carriers.

shipping instructions, or other commercial loading documents.
     Revise Sec.  30.9(b) to clarify that failure to respond to 
fatal error messages prior to export of the cargo subjects the USPPI or 
authorized agent to penalties. The postdeparture filing time frame has 
also changed from ten (10) calendar days to five (5) calendar days. 
Also, remove the word ``regulation'' and add in its place ``the FTR'' 
in the second to last sentence.
     In Sec.  30.16, revise the introductory text to spell out 
the acronym ``EAR'' and remove the word ``also.''
     In Sec.  30.16, revise paragraph (b) to include reference 
to 15 CFR 758.1(g), which references requirements in the EAR, and add 
paragraph (c) to include the requirement for placing certain export 
information on export control documents for shipments that are exempt 
from filing in the AES.
     Revise Sec.  30.18(a) to spell out the acronym ``ITAR'' 
and to clarify that shipments licensed by the State Department that are 
ultimately destined to a location in the United States are not required 
to be filed in the AES.
     In Sec.  30.25, add paragraph (c) to include the new 
filing requirements for goods rejected after entry into the United 
States. Those goods must be filed in the AES and the value to be 
reported is the declared import value.
     Redesignate Sec.  30.26(a) as Sec.  30.37(e) to include 
the exemption for reporting vessels, aircraft, cargo vans, and other 
carriers and containers when shipping as tools of international trade. 
The exemption for in-transit shipments is removed.
     Redesignate Sec.  30.26(b) to Sec.  30.26 and revise to 
correct errors in grammar.

marks and the words ``by air.'' This section now includes all modes of 
transportation.
     In Sec.  30.28, revise the introductory text to remove the

latter the word ``conveyance,'' and to clarify that a split shipment 
must occur on the same day for all modes of transportation.
     In Sec.  30.28(a) and (b), remove all references to the 
word ``flight'' and add in its place ``conveyance.'' This revision is 
to clarify that split shipments apply to all modes of transportation.

[[Page 4005]]

     Revise Sec.  30.29(b)(2) to clarify the requirement to 
report the Schedule B number or HTSUSA classification commodity number 
for replacement products and remove the word ``only'' in the last 
sentence. This revision is to clarify that the value should include 
inland or domestic freight, insurance, and other charges to the U.S. 
seaport, airport, or land border port of export.
     Revise Sec.  30.35 to clarify that exemptions from filing 
in the AES does not apply when a shipment falls under Sec.  
30.2(a)(1)(iv), which references the types of export shipments that 
must be filed, regardless of value.
     In Sec.  30.36(b), add paragraphs (7) and (8) to include 
the requirement for reporting used self-propelled vehicles and 
household goods destined to Canada.
     In Sec.  30.36(b), revise the introductory text to clarify 
that shipments destined to Canada must be filed in the same manner as 
all other exports when they fall under Sec. Sec.  30.36(b)(1) through 
(7). Therefore, removing the language from paragraph (b)(2).
     In Sec.  30.37, remove paragraphs (q) and (r). This 
revision removes the exemption for temporary exports. Temporary 
shipments of goods valued over $2,500 per Schedule B or that require a 
license must be filed in the AES. When reporting temporary exports 
report the appropriate export information code for temporary goods, 
such as ``TE and TP''.
     Revise Sec.  30.37 introductory text to clarify that 
exemptions from filing EEI do not apply if the shipment falls under 
Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv), which references the types of export shipments 
that must be filed, regardless of value.
     Revise Sec.  30.37(a) by removing the words ``Except as 
noted in Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv)'' and clarify that goods that are of

reported separately. In addition the reference to Sec.  30.38 for the 
reporting of household goods was added.
     Revise Sec.  30.37(g) to clarify the types of articles 
that are exempt when shipping to foreign libraries, government 
establishments, and other similar institutions.
     Redesignate Sec. Sec.  30.37(s) and (t) as Sec. Sec.  
30.37(q) and (r).
     Revise Sec.  30.37 by adding paragraph(s) to clarify that 
exports of technical data and defense service exemptions defined in 22 
CFR 123.22(b)(3)(iii) are exempt from the EEI filing requirements.
     Revise Sec.  30.38 to clarify that, regardless of value, 
limited reporting is required for household goods when the goods are 
for use by the USPPI or the USPPI's immediate family, not for sale, and 
shipped under a bill of lading or an air waybill. In addition, the 
revision removed the exemption for limited reporting of vehicles 
because full reporting is required for used self-propelled vehicles.
     In Sec.  30.39 and Sec.  30.40, revise the introductory 
text to clarify that the exemptions for the U.S. Armed Services and 
U.S. government agencies and employees does not apply if the shipment 
falls under Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv), which references the types of export 
shipments that must be filed, regardless of value.
     In Sec.  30.40, remove paragraph (d) because Sec.  
30.37(g) now incorporates the exemption described in this paragraph.
     In Sec.  30.45(a), revise the introductory text by 
removing the word ``shall'' from the first sentence and adding in its 
place the word ``may'' and removing references to the exclusion legend. 
This revision is necessary to clarify that the exclusion legend is no 
longer required to be noted on the commercial loading documents.
     In Sec.  30.45(a)(2), remove the word ``unladed'' and 
adding in its place ``unladen.'' This section is also revised to 
require the manifest to be filed with the CBP Port Director at the port 
of exit rather than the port where the goods are laden.
     In Sec.  30.45(a)(4), remove reference to the exclusion 
legend because USPPIs and authorized agents are no longer required to 
place this citation on the bill of lading, air waybill, export shipping 
instructions, or other commercial loading documents.
     In Sec.  30.45(c), revise the title to remove the 
quotation marks and the words ``by air'' since this requirement now 
pertains to all modes of transportation. This section is also revised 
to clarify that a split shipment must be divided by the carrier.
     In Sec.  30.45(d), remove the words ``bill of lading'' in 
the last sentence and add in its place the words ``commercial loading 
document.''
     Revise Sec.  30.45(f)(1) by adding the words ``Except as 
noted in Sec.  30.4(b)(2)'' to clarify that proof of filing citations 
and exemption legends are required for shipments between the United 
States and Puerto Rico when the carrier reaches the port of unloading.
     Revise Sec.  30.45(f)(1) by removing the references to the 
SED and the exclusion legend. The SED has been replaced by the EEI, and 
the exclusion legend is no longer required to be placed on the bill of 
lading, air waybill, export shipping instructions, or other commercial 
loading documents.
     In Sec.  30.45(f), remove paragraphs (3) and (4) because 
requirements for truck and rail shipments will be added to Sec. Sec.  
30.45(f)(1) and (2).
     In Sec.  30.46 and Sec.  30.47, remove all references to 
the exclusion legend because the USPPIs or authorized agents are no 
longer required to place the exclusion legend on the bill of lading, 
air waybill, export shipping instructions, or other commercial loading 
documents.
     In Sec.  30.47(a), remove the word ``business'' and add in 
its place the word ``calendar.'' This is to clarify that the carrier 
has up to four calendar days after clearance or departure of the 
carrier to file manifest and all required filing citations and/or 
exemption legends.
     In Sec.  30.47(a)(2), remove the words ``fifteenth 
business'' and add in its place the word ``fourth calendar.'' This is 
to clarify that the filing citations and/or exemption legends shall be 
filed with CBP no later than the fourth calendar day after departure.
     Revise Sec.  30.47(a)(3) to clarify that a list of filing 
citations and/or exemption legends must be presented for carriers under 
bond on an incomplete manifest upon request by CBP.
     In Sec.  30.50(b)(5), remove the words ``Automated Foreign 
Trade Zone Reporting Program (AFTZRP)'' and add in their place 
``Electronic CBP Form 214 Admissions (e214)'' since the AFTZRP was 
eliminated March 1, 2009.
     Revise Sec.  30.52 to clarify the statistical filing 
requirements for Foreign Trade Zone shipments via the e214 or paper 
214A.
     In Sec.  30.54(b), remove the second instance of the word 
``region'' and add in its place the word ``country'' in the last 
sentence. This is to clarify that the region of origin code replaces 
the country of origin code on the CBP Form 7501.C
     In Sec.  30.60(c)(4), add the words ``and foreign 
companies'' after the word ``governments'' to clarify that neither 
foreign governments nor entities may have access to the EEI.
     Revise Sec.  30.60(c)(4)(d) to remove the reference to an 
exclusion legend. The USPPIs and authorized agents are no longer 
required to place an exclusion legend on the bill of lading, air 
waybill, export shipping instructions, or other commercial loading 
documents.
    In Sec.  30.71(b), revise paragraph (1), redesignate paragraphs (2) 
and (3) as paragraphs (3) and (4) and add a new paragraph (2). This 
revision is to clarify

[[Page 4006]]

that the civil penalties imposed for delayed filings and failures to 
file are different. For delayed filings, the penalty will not exceed 
$1,100 per day of delinquency, and no more than $10,000 per violation; 
whereas, failures to file, the penalty will not exceed $10,000 per 
violation.
     In Sec.  30.74(c)(3)(iv), remove the punctuation and the 
word ``and'' at the end of the sentence because an additional paragraph 
is added.
     In Sec.  30.74(c)(3)(vi), add punctuation and the word 
``and'' at the end of the sentence to clarify that when submitting a 
voluntary self-disclosure, all items listed in Sec.  30.74(c)(3) must 
be included in the letter submitted to the Census Bureau.
     In Sec.  30.74(c)(3), add paragraphs (vi) and (vii) to 
clarify that, when submitting a voluntary self-disclosure, the person 
must indicate the corrective measures taken to avoid the violation in 
the future and the ITNs of the missed and/or corrected shipments.
     Revise Sec.  30.74(c)(5) to include the Foreign Trade 
Division Web site regarding further instructions for submitting 
voluntary self-disclosures to the Census Bureau.
     Revise Appendices B through F to reflect all proposed 
changes to the FTR discussed in this part.

Rulemaking Requirements

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Chief Counsel for Regulation of the Department of Commerce 
certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business 
Administration (SBA) that this rule will not have a significant impact 
on a substantial number of small entities. This action requires that 
USPPIs or authorized agents in the United States file export 
information to the AES for all shipments where an EEI record is 
required under the FTR.
    The SBA's table of size standards indicates that businesses that 
are the USPPI or authorized agent and file export information are 
considered small businesses if they employ less than 500 people. Based 
on year 2008 Profile of U.S. Exporting Companies, the Census Bureau 
estimates that there are 281,000 USPPIs that are considered small 
entities under the Small Business Act definition. Over 90 percent of 
USPPIs use an authorized agent to file export documentation. An 
estimate of the number of authorized agents is not known.
    The Census Bureau anticipates that the new requirement would not 
significantly affect the small businesses that file through the AES. 
The new reporting requirements would not affect a substantial number of 
small entities because more than 90 percent of USPPIs that are 
considered small entities use an authorized agent to file export 
documentation. Also, while this regulation would likely affect a 
substantial number of agents that are small entities it is not likely 
that the effect will be significant. The majority of agents require use 
of a computer to perform routine tasks, such as filing the AES. These 
agents are unlikely to be significantly affected by these new 
requirements, as they currently possess the technology and equipment to 
submit the information through the AES. The Census Bureau has provided 
a free Internet-based system, AESDirect, especially for small 
businesses to submit their export information electronically. It would 
not be necessary for small businesses to purchase software for this 
task. For these reasons, if this proposed rule is adopted, this rule 
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.

Executive Orders

    This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of 
Executive Order 12866. It has been determined that this rule does not 
contain policies with federalism implications as that term is defined 
under Executive Order 13132.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required 
to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure 
to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), unless that collection of 
information displays a current, valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. This rule contains a collection-of-information 
subject to the requirements of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 
that has been approved under OMB control number 0607-0152.

    5. Amend Sec.  30.4 by revising paragraphs (a)(6), (b)(1), (b)(2) 
introductory text, (c), and (d), redesignating paragraph (b)(3) as 
(b)(4) and adding paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(5) to read as follows:


Sec.  30.4  Electronic Export Information filing procedures, deadlines, 
and certification statements.

* * * * *
    (a) * * *
    (6) Shipments where complete outbound manifests are required prior 
to clearing vessels going directly to the countries identified in U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection regulations 19 CFR 4.75(c) and aircraft 
going directly or indirectly to those countries. (See U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection regulation 19 CFR 122.74(b)(2));
    (b) * * *
    (1) For USML shipments, refer to the ITAR (22 CFR 123.22(b)(1)) for 
specific requirements concerning predeparture filing timeframes. In 
addition, if a filer is unable to acquire an ITN because the AES is not 
operating, the filer shall not export until the AES is operating and an 
ITN is acquired.
    (2) For non-USML shipments, except shipments between the United 
States and Puerto Rico, file the EEI and provide the ITN as follows 
(See Sec.  30.4(b)(3), filing timeframes for shipments between the 
United States and Puerto Rico):
* * * * *
    (3) For shipments between the United States and Puerto Rico, the 
AES proof of filing citation, postdeparture filing citation, or 
exemption citation must be presented to the carrier by the time the 
shipment arrives at the port of unloading.
* * * * *
    (5) For used self-propelled vehicles as defined in 19 CFR 192.1 of 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, the USPPI or the 
authorized agent shall file the EEI as required by Sec.  30.6 and 
provide the filing citation to the exporting carrier at least 72 hours 
prior to export.
    (c) EEI transmitted postdeparture. Postdeparture filing is only 
available for approved USPPIs and provides for the electronic filing of 
the data elements

[[Page 4010]]

required by Sec.  30.6 no later than five (5) calendar days from the 
date of exportation. Postdeparture filing can only be used for an 
approved list of commodities. This list can be found at http://www.census.gov/aes. For U.S. principal parties in interest approved for 
postdeparture filing, all shipments containing only approved 
commodities (other than those for which predeparture filing is 
specifically required), by all methods of transportation, may be 
exported with the appropriate postdeparture filing citation and the EEI 
must be filed within five (5) calendar days from the date of export. 
Certified AES authorized agents or service centers may transmit 
information postdeparture on behalf of USPPIs approved for 
postdeparture filing, or the approved USPPI may transmit the data 
postdeparture itself.
    (d) Proof of filing citation and exemption legend. The USPPI or the 
authorized agent shall provide the exporting carrier with the proof of 
filing citation and exemption legends as described in Sec.  30.7.
    6. Amend Sec.  30.5 by revising paragraph (c) introductory text, 
paragraph (d)(1) and (d)(2); and adding paragraphs (c)(1)(ix) and 
(c)(3)(G) to read as follows:


Sec.  30.5  Electronic Export Information filing application and 
certification processes and standards.

* * * * *
    (c) Postdeparture filing approval process. Postdeparture filing is 
a privilege granted to approved USPPIs for their EEI to be filed up to 
five (5) calendar days from the date of export. Postdeparture filing 
can only be used for an approved list of commodities. This list can be 
found at http://www.census.gov/aes. The USPPI or its authorized agent 
may not transmit EEI postdeparture for commodities not found on the 
approved list of commodities. The USPPI may apply for postdeparture 
filing privileges by submitting a postdeparture filing application at 
http://www.census.gov/aes. An authorized agent may not apply on behalf 
of a USPPI. The Census Bureau will distribute the application to CBP 
and the other federal government partnership agencies participating in 
the AES postdeparture filing review process. Failure to meet the 
standards of the Census Bureau, CBP or any of the partnership agencies 
is reason for denial of the AES applicant for postdeparture filing 
privileges. Each partnership agency will develop its own internal 
postdeparture filing acceptance standards, and each agency will notify 
the Census Bureau of the USPPI's success or failure to meet that 
agency's acceptance standards. Any partnership agency may require 
additional information from USPPIs that are applying for postdeparture 
filing. The Census Bureau will notify the USPPI of the decision to 
either deny or approve its application for postdeparture filing 
privileges within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the 
postdeparture filing application by the Census Bureau, or if a decision 
cannot be reached at that time, the USPPI will be notified of an 
extension for a final decision as soon as possible after the thirty 
(30) calendar days.
    (1) * * *
    (ix) The USPPI fails to demonstrate the ability to meet the AES 
predeparture filing requirements.
* * * * *
    (3) * * *
    (G) The USPPI or its authorized agent files postdeparture for 
commodities that are not on the approved list. See http://www.census.gov/aes for the list of approved commodities.

    (d) * * *
    (1) AESDirect user names and passwords are to be kept secure by the 
account administrator and not disclosed to any unauthorized user or any 
persons outside the registered company.
    (2) Registered companies are responsible for those persons having 
user name and password. If an employee with a user name and password 
leaves the company or otherwise is no longer an authorized user, the 
company shall immediately deactivate that username in the system to 
ensure the integrity and confidentiality of Title 13 data.
* * * * *
    7. Amend Sec.  30.6 as follows:
    a. Revise paragraphs (a)(1)(ii), (a)(3), (a)(5)(i), (a)(8), (a)(9), 
(a)(17) introductory text, (a)(19), and (a)(23);
    b. Revise paragraph (b);
    c. Add paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(7), (b)(19), (b)(22), 
(b)(23), and (b)(24); and
    d. Remove paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2):


Sec.  30.6  Electronic Export Information data elements.

* * * * *
    (a) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (ii) Address of the USPPI. In all EEI filings, the USPPI shall 
report the address or location (no post office box number) from which 
the goods actually begin the journey to the port of export even if the 
USPPI does not own/lease the facility. For example, the EEI covering 
goods laden aboard a truck at a warehouse in Georgia for transport to 
Florida for loading onto a vessel for export to a foreign country shall 
show the address of the warehouse in Georgia. For shipments with 
multiple origins, report the address from which the commodity with the 
greatest value begins its export journey. If such information is not 
known, report the address in the state where the commodities are 
consolidated for export.
* * * * *
    (3) Ultimate consignee. The ultimate consignee is the person, 
party, or designee that is located abroad and actually receives the 
export shipment. The name and address of the ultimate consignee, 
whether by sale in the United States or abroad or by consignment, shall 
be reported in the EEI. The ultimate consignee as known at the time of 
export shall be reported. For shipments requiring an export license 
including shipments to international waters, the ultimate consignee 
reported in the AES shall be the person so designated on the export 
license or authorized to be the ultimate consignee under the applicable 
license exemption or exception in conformance with the EAR or ITAR, as 
applicable. For goods sold en route, report the appropriate ``To be 
Sold En Route'' indicator in the EEI, and report corrected information 
as soon as it is known (see Sec.  30.9 for procedures on correcting AES 
information).
* * * * *
    (5) * * *
    (i) Shipments under an export license, license exception or license 
exemption. For shipments, including those to international waters, 
under an export license or license exemption issued by the Department 
of State, DDTC or export license or license exception issued by the 
Department of Commerce, BIS, the country of ultimate destination shall 
conform to the country of ultimate destination as shown on the license. 
In the case of a Department of State license, the country of ultimate 
destination is the country specified with respect to the end user. For 
goods licensed by other government agencies refer to their specific 
requirements concerning providing country of destination information.
* * * * *
    (8) Carrier identification. The carrier identification is the 
Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) for vessel, rail, and truck 
shipments or the International Air Transport Association (IATA) code 
for air shipments. The carrier identification specifies the carrier 
that transports the goods out of the United States. The

[[Page 4011]]

carrier transporting the goods to the port of export and the carrier 
transporting the goods out of the United States may be different. For 
vessel shipments, report the carrier identification code of the party 
whose booking number was reported in the AES. For transshipments 
through Canada, Mexico, or another foreign country, the carrier 
identification is that of the carrier that transports the goods out of 
the United States. For other valid methods of transportation, including 
mail, fixed modes (pipeline), passenger, and hand carried, the carrier 
identification is not required. The National Motor Freight Traffic 
Association (NMFTA) issues and maintains the SCAC. (See http://www.nmfta.org.) The IATA issues and maintains the IATA codes. (See 
http://www.census.gov/trade for a list of IATA codes.)
    (9) Port of export. The port of export is the U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection seaport or airport where the goods are loaded on the 
carrier that is taking the goods out of the United States, or the CBP 
port where exports by overland transportation cross the U.S. border 
into Canada or Mexico. For goods loaded aboard a carrier (aircraft or 
vessel) where the conveyance stops at several ports before clearing to 
the foreign country, the port of export is the first port where the 
goods were loaded on the original conveyance. For goods off-loaded from 
the original conveyance to another conveyance (even if the aircraft or 
vessel belongs to the same carrier) at any of the ports, the port where 
the goods were loaded on the last conveyance before going foreign is 
the port of export. The port of export shall be reported in terms of 
Schedule D, ``Classification of CBP Districts and Ports.'' Use port 
code 8000 for shipments by mail.
* * * * *
    (17) Value. In general, the value to be reported in the EEI shall 
be the value of the goods at the U.S. port of export in U.S. dollars. 
The value shall be the selling price (or the cost, if the goods are not 
sold), plus inland or domestic freight, insurance, and other charges to 
the U.S. seaport, airport, or land border port of export. Cost of goods 
is the sum of expenses incurred in the USPPI's acquisition or 
production of the goods. Report the value to the nearest dollar, omit 
cents. Fractions of a dollar less than 50 cents should be ignored, and 
fractions of 50 cents or more should be rounded up to the next dollar.
* * * * *
    (19) Shipment reference number. A unique identification number 
assigned by the filer that allows for the identification of the 
shipment in the filer's system. The reuse of the shipment reference 
number is prohibited.
* * * * *
    (23) License code/license exemption code. The code that identifies 
the commodity as having a federal government agency requirement for a 
license, permit, authorization, license exception or exemption or that 
no license is required.
    (b) Conditional data elements are as follows: (1) Address of 
license applicant. Report the address of the applicant shown on the 
export license, if different from the USPPI.
    (2) Name of the end user. Report the name of the end user, if 
known.
    (3) Address of the end user. Report the address or location (no 
post office box number) of the reported end user.
    (4) Authorized agent and authorized agent identification. If an 
authorized agent is used to prepare and file the EEI, the following 
information shall be provided to the AES:
    (i) Authorized agent's identification number. Report the authorized 
agent's own EIN, or DUNS in the EEI for the first shipment and for each 
subsequent shipment. Use of another company's or individual's EIN or 
other identification number is prohibited. The party ID type (E = EIN, 
D = DUNS, etc.) shall be identified.
    (ii) Name of the authorized agent. Report the name of the 
authorized agent. The authorized agent is that person or entity in the 
United States that is authorized by the USPPI or the FPPI to prepare 
and file the EEI or the person or entity, if any, named on the export 
license. (See Sec.  30.3 for details on the specific reporting 
responsibilities of authorized agents and Subpart B of this part for 
export control licensing requirements for authorized agents.)
    (iii) Address of the authorized agent. Report the address or 
location (no post office box number) of the authorized agent. The 
authorized agent's address shall be reported with the initial shipment. 
Subsequent shipments may be identified by the agent's identification 
number.
    (iv) Contact information. Report the contact name and telephone 
number.
    (5) Intermediate consignee. Report the name and address of the 
intermediate consignee (if any). The intermediate consignee acts in a 
foreign country as an agent for the principal party in interest or the 
ultimate consignee for the purpose of effecting delivery of the export 
shipment to the ultimate consignee. The intermediate consignee is the 
person named as such on the export license or authorized to act as such 
under the applicable general license and in conformity with the EAR.
    (6) FTZ identifier. If goods are removed from a FTZ and not entered 
for consumption, report the FTZ identifier. This is the unique 
identifier assigned by the Foreign Trade Zone Board that identifies the 
FTZ, subzone or site from which goods are withdrawn for export.
    (7) Country of origin. If the goods exported are of foreign origin 
and have undergone no change in form or condition or enhancement in 
value by further manufacture in the United States, U.S. FTZs, Puerto 
Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, report the foreign country in which 
the commodities were grown, produced, manufactured, or substantially 
transformed. For commodities with multiple origins, report the foreign 
country of the commodity with the greatest value. If the USPPI does not 
know the foreign country where the goods originated from, the country 
of origin to be shown is the last foreign country, as known to the 
USPPI at the time of shipment from the United States, from which the 
goods were shipped in their present form. Report the country of origin 
using the code issued by the International Standards Organization.
    (8) Foreign port of unlading. The foreign port of unlading is the 
foreign port in the country where the goods are removed from the 
exporting carrier. The foreign port does not have to be located in the 
country of destination. For exports by sea to foreign countries, not 
including Puerto Rico, the foreign port of unlading is the code in 
terms of Schedule K, Classification of Foreign Ports by Geographic 
Trade Area and Country. For exports by sea or air between the United 
States and Puerto Rico, the foreign port of unlading is the code in 
terms of Schedule D, Classification of CBP Districts and Ports. The 
foreign port of unlading is not required for exports by other modes of 
transportation, including rail, truck, mail, fixed (pipeline), or air 
(unless between the U.S. and Puerto Rico).
    (9) Export license number/CFR citation/KPC number. License number, 
permit number, citation, or authorization number assigned by the 
Department of Commerce, BIS; Department of State, DDTC; Department of 
the Treasury, OFAC; Department of Justice, DEA; Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission; or any other federal government agency.
    (10) Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). The number used 
to identify items on the CCL, Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR. 
The ECCN consists of a set of digits and a letter.

[[Page 4012]]

Items that are not classified under an ECCN are designated ``EAR99''.
    (11) Secondary unit of measure. The unit of measure that 
corresponds to the secondary quantity as prescribed in the Schedule B 
or HTSUSA. If neither Schedule B nor HTSUSA specifies a secondary unit 
of measure for the item, the unit of measure is not required.
    (12) Secondary quantity. The total number of units that correspond 
to the secondary unit of measure, if any, specified in the Schedule B 
or HTSUSA. Where the unit of measure is in terms of weight (grams, 
kilograms, metric tons, etc.), the quantity reflects the net weight, 
not including the weight of barrels, boxes, or other bulky coverings, 
and not including salt or pickle in the case of salted or pickled fish 
or meats. For a few commodities where ``content grams'' or ``content 
kilograms'' or some similar weight unit is specified in Schedule B or 
HTSUSA, the quantity may be less than the net weight. The quantity is 
reported as a whole unit only, without commas or decimals. If the 
quantity contains a fraction of a whole unit, round fractions of one-
half unit or more up and fractions of less than one-half unit down to 
the nearest whole unit. (For example, where the unit for a given 
commodity is in terms of ``tons,'' a net quantity of 8.4 tons would be 
reported as 8 for the quantity. If the quantity is less than one unit, 
the quantity is 1.)
    (13) Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)/Product ID. The 
identification number found on the exported used vehicle. For used 
self-propelled vehicles that do not have a VIN, the Product ID is 
reported. ``Used'' vehicle refers to any self-propelled vehicle where 
the equitable or legal title to which has been transferred by a 
manufacturer, distributor, or dealer to an ultimate purchaser. See U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection regulation 19 CFR 192.1 for more 
information on exports of used vehicles.
    (14) Vehicle ID qualifier. The qualifier that identifies the type 
of used vehicle number reported. The valid codes are V for VIN and P 
for Product ID.
    (15) Vehicle title number. The number issued by the Motor Vehicle 
Administration.
    (16) Vehicle title state code. The 2-character postal code for the 
state or territory that issued the vehicle title.
    (17) Entry number. The entry number must be reported for goods that 
are entered in lieu of being transported under bond for which the 
importer of record is a foreign entity, or for reexports of goods 
withdrawn from a FTZ for which a NAFTA-deferred duty claim (entry type 
08) could have been made, but that the importer elected to enter for 
consumption under CBP entry type 06. For goods imported into the United 
States for export to a third country of ultimate destination, where the 
importer of record on the entry is a foreign entity, the USPPI will be 
the authorized agent designated by the foreign importer for service of 
process. The USPPI, in this circumstance, is required to report the 
import entry number.
    (18) Transportation Reference Number (TRN). The TRN is as follows:
    (i) Vessel shipments. Report the booking number for vessel 
shipments. The booking number is the reservation number assigned by the 
carrier to hold space on the vessel for cargo being exported. The TRN 
is required for all vessel shipments.
    (ii) Air shipments. Report the master air waybill number for air 
shipments. The air waybill number is the reservation number assigned by 
the carrier to hold space on the aircraft for cargo being exported. The 
TRN is required for air shipments.
    (iii) Rail shipments. Report the bill of lading (BL) number for 
rail shipments. The BL number is the reservation number assigned by the 
carrier to hold space on the rail car for cargo being exported. The TRN 
is optional for rail shipments.
    (iv) Truck shipments. Report the freight or pro bill number for 
truck shipments. The freight or pro bill number is the number assigned 
by the carrier to hold space on the truck for cargo being exported. The 
freight or pro bill number correlates to a bill of lading number, air 
waybill number or trip number for multimodal shipments. The TRN is 
optional for truck shipments.
    (19) License value. For shipments requiring an export license, 
report the value designated on the export license that corresponds to 
the commodity being exported.
    (20) Department of State Requirements.
    (i) Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) registration 
number. The number assigned by the DDTC to persons who are required to 
register per Part 122 of the ITAR (22 CFR parts 120 through 130), and 
have an authorization (license or exemption) from DDTC to export the 
article.
    (ii) DDTC Significant Military Equipment (SME) indicator. A term 
used to designate articles on the USML (22 CFR 121) for which special 
export controls are warranted because of their capacity for substantial 
military utility or capability. See Sec.  120.7 of the ITAR 22 CFR 120 
through 130 for a definition of SME and Sec.  121.1 for items 
designated as SME articles.
    (iii) DDTC eligible party certification indicator. Certification by 
the U.S. exporter that the exporter is an eligible party to participate 
in defense trade. See 22 CFR 120.1(c). This certification is required 
only when an exemption is claimed.
    (iv) DDTC United States Munitions List (USML) category code. The 
USML category of the article being exported (22 CFR 121).
    (v) DDTC Unit of Measure (UOM). This unit of measure is the UOM 
covering the article being shipped as described on the export 
authorization or declared under an ITAR exemption.
    (vi) DDTC quantity. This quantity is the number of articles being 
shipped. The quantity is the total number of units that corresponds to 
the DDTC UOM code.
    (vii) DDTC exemption number. The exemption number is the specific 
citation from the ITAR (22 CFR 120 through 130) that exempts the 
shipment from the requirements for a license or other written 
authorization from DDTC.
    (viii) DDTC export license line number. The line number of the 
State Department export license that corresponds to the article being 
exported.
    (21) Kimberley Process Certificate (KPC) number. The unique 
identifying number on the KPC issued by the United States KPC authority 
that must accompany all export shipments of rough diamonds. Rough 
diamonds are classified under 6-digit HS subheadings 7102.10, 7102.21, 
and 7102.31. Enter the KPC number in the license number field excluding 
the 2-digit ISO country code for the United States.
    (22) Equipment number. Report the identification number for the 
shipping equipment, such as container or igloo number (Unit Load Device 
(ULD)), truck license number, or rail car number. For containerized 
vessel cargo, the USPPI must report the container number.
    (23) Seal number. The security seal number placed on the equipment 
or container.
    (24) Ultimate consignee type. If at the time of filing, the USPPI 
or the authorized agent knows the ultimate consignee is a reseller, 
government reseller or government consumer, the appropriate type must 
be indicated in the AES. If more than one type applies, provide the 
type that most often applies. For purposes of this paragraph, reseller, 
government reseller and government consumer are defined as follows:
    (i) Reseller--a retailer, wholesaler, distributor, and/or trading 
company of the exported good to third parties,

[[Page 4013]]

whether or not the third parties are known.
    (ii) Government Reseller--a government-owned or government-
controlled agency, institution, enterprise, or company that acts as 
retailer, wholesaler, distributor, or trading company of the exported 
good to third parties, whether or not the third parties are known.
    (iii) Government Consumer--a government-owned or government-
controlled agency, institution, enterprise, or company that consumes or 
uses the exported good as a consumable, for its own internal processes, 
as an input to the production of another good, as machinery or 
equipment that is part of a manufacturing process or a provision of 
services. The good is not resold or distributed without a substantial 
transformation of the good.
    8. Amend Sec.  30.7 by revising paragraph (b) to read as follows:


Sec.  30.7  Annotating the bill of lading, air waybill, or other 
commercial loading documents with proof of filing citations, and 
exemption legends.

    (b) For shipments other than USML, the USPPI or the authorized 
agent is responsible for annotating the proper proof of filing citation 
or exemption legend on the first page of the bill of lading, air 
waybill, export shipping instructions or other commercial loading 
documents. The USPPI or the authorized agent must provide the proof of 
filing citation or exemption legend to the exporting carrier. The 
carrier must annotate the proof of filing citations and/or exemption 
legends on the carrier's outbound manifest when required. The carrier 
is responsible for presenting the appropriate proof of filing citation 
or exemption legend to CBP Port Director at the port of export as 
stated in Subpart E of this part. Such presentation shall be without 
material change or amendment of the proof of filing citation, 
postdeparture filing citation, AES downtime filing citation, or 
exemption legend as provided to the carrier by the USPPI or the 
authorized agent. The proof of filing citation will identify that the 
export information has been accepted as transmitted. The postdeparture 
filing citation, AES downtime filing citation, or exemption legends 
will identify that no filing is required prior to export. The proof of 
filing citations, postdeparture filing citations, or exemption legend 
shall appear on the bill of lading, air waybill or other commercial 
loading documentation and shall be clearly visible. The AES filing 
citations and/or exemption legends are provided for in Appendix D. The 
exporting carrier shall annotate the manifest or other carrier 
documentation with the AES filing citations or exemption legend.
* * * * *
    9. Revise Sec.  30.8 to read as follows:


Sec.  30.8  Time and place for presenting proof of filing citations and 
exemption legends.

    The following conditions govern the time and place to present proof 
of filing citations, postdeparture filing citations, AES downtime 
filing citation, and exemption legends. The USPPI or the authorized 
agent is required to deliver the proof of filing citations, 
postdeparture filing citations, AES downtime filing citations or 
exemption legends required in Sec.  30.7 to the exporting carrier. See 
Appendix D of this part for the properly formatted proof of filing 
citations or exemption legends. Failure of the USPPI or the authorized 
agent of either the USPPI or FPPI to comply with these requirements 
constitutes a violation of the regulations in this part and renders 
such principal party or the authorized agent subject to the penalties 
provided for in Subpart H of this part.
    (a) Postal exports. The proof of filing citations, postdeparture 
filing citations, AES downtime filing citation, and/or exemption 
legends for items being sent by mail, as required in Sec.  30.4(b), 
shall be presented to the postmaster with the packages at the time of 
mailing. The postmaster is required to deliver the proof of filing 
citations or exemption legends prior to export.
    (b) Pipeline exports. The proof of filing citations or exemption 
legends for items being sent by pipeline shall be presented to the 
operator of a pipeline no later than four calendar days after the close 
of the month. See Sec.  30.46 for requirements for the filing of export 
information by pipeline carriers.
    (c) Exports by other methods of transportation. For exports sent 
other than by mail or pipeline, the USPPI or the authorized agent is 
required to deliver the proof of filing citations and/or exemption 
legends to the exporting carrier in accord with the time periods set 
forth in Sec.  30.4(b).
    10. Amend Sec.  30.9 by revising paragraph (b) to read as follows:


Sec.  30.9  Transmitting and correcting Electronic Export Information.

* * * * *
    (b) For shipments where the USPPI or the authorized agent has 
received an error message from AES, the corrections shall take place as 
required. Fatal error messages are sent to filers when EEI is not 
accepted in the AES. These errors must be corrected and EEI resubmitted 
prior to export for shipments filed predeparture and as soon as 
possible for shipments filed postdeparture but not later than five (5) 
calendar days from the date of export. Failure to respond to fatal 
error messages prior to export of the cargo subjects the principal 
party or authorized agent to penalties provided for in Subpart H of 
this part. Failing to transmit corrections to the AES constitutes a 
violation of the regulations in this part and renders such principal 
party or authorized agent subject to the penalties provided for in 
Subpart H of this part. For EEI that generates a warning message, the 
correction shall be made within four (4) calendar days of receipt of 
the original transmission. For EEI that generates a verify message, the 
correction, when warranted, shall be made within four (4) calendar days 
of receipt of the message. A compliance alert indicates that the 
shipment was not reported in accordance with the FTR. The USPPI or the 
authorized agent is required to review filing practices and take 
whatever corrective actions are required to conform with export 
reporting requirements.
    11. Amend Sec.  30.16 by revising the introductory text and

information, as required, for items on the USML of the International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (See 22 CFR part 121). Information 
for items identified on the USML, including those exported under an 
export license or license exemption, shall be filed prior to export.

goods. The value to be reported in AES is the declared import value of 
the goods.
    14. A Revise Sec.  30.26 to read as follows:


Sec.  30.26  Reporting of vessels, aircraft, cargo vans, and other 
carriers and containers.

    Export information shall be filed in the AES for all vessels, 
locomotives, aircraft, rail cars, trucks, other vehicles, trailers, 
pallets, cargo vans, lift vans, or similar shipping containers when 
these items are moving as goods pursuant to sale or other transfer from 
ownership in the United States to ownership abroad. The exports of used 
self-propelled vehicles as defined in 19 CFR 192.1 of U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection regulations must be filed in the AES regardless of 
value or country of destination. If a vessel, car, aircraft, 
locomotive, rail car, vehicle, or container, whether in service or 
newly built or manufactured, is sold or transferred to foreign 
ownership while in Customs territory of the United States or at a port 
in such area, EEI shall be reported in accordance with the general 
requirements of the regulations in this part, identifying the port 
through or from which the vessel, aircraft, locomotive, rail car, car, 
vehicle, or container first leaves the United States after sale or 
transfer. If the vessel, car, aircraft, locomotive, rail car, vehicle, 
or shipping container is outside Customs territory of the United States 
at the time of sale or transfer to foreign ownership, EEI shall be 
reported identifying the last port of clearance or departure from the 
United States prior to sale or transfer. The country of destination to 
be shown in the EEI for vessels sold foreign is the country of new 
ownership. The country for which the vessel clears, or the country of 
registry of the vessel, should not be reported as the country of 
destination in the EEI unless such country is the country of new 
ownership.
    15. Amend Sec.  30.28 by revising the section heading, introductory 
text and paragraphs (a) and (b) to read as follows:


Sec.  30.28  Split shipments.

    A shipment covered by a single EEI transmission booked for export 
on one conveyance, but divided by the exporting carrier at the port of 
export where the manifest is filed and sent on two or more conveyances 
of the same carrier on the same day. For a shipment that does not 
transport on the same day, a new EEI must be filed. The following 
procedures apply for split shipments:
    (a) The carrier shall deliver the manifest to CBP Port Director 
with the manifest covering the conveyance on which the first part of 
the split shipment is exported and shall make no changes to the EEI. 
However, the manifest shall show in the ``number of packages'' column 
the actual portion of the declared total quantity being carried and 
shall carry a notation to indicate ``Split Shipment.'' All manifests 
with the notation ``Split Shipment'' will have identical ITNs.
    (b) On each subsequent manifest covering a conveyance on which any 
part of a split shipment is exported, a prominent notation ``SPLIT 
SHIPMENT'' shall be made on the manifest for identification. On the 
last shipment, the notation shall read ``SPLIT SHIPMENT, FINAL.'' Each 
subsequent manifest covering a part of a split shipment shall also show 
in the ``number of packages'' column only the goods carried on that 
particular conveyance and a reference to the total amount originally 
declared for export (for example, 5 of 11, or 5/11). Immediately 
following the line showing the portion of the split shipment carried on 
that conveyance, a notation will be made showing the bill of lading 
number, air waybill number, or other commercial loading documents shown 
in the original EEI and the portions of the originally declared total 
carried on each previous conveyance, together with the number and date 
of each such previous conveyance (for example, air waybill 123; 1 of 2, 
flight 36A, June 6 SPLIT SHIPMENT; 2 of 2, flight 40X, June 6 SPLIT 
SHIPMENT, FINAL).
* * * * *

as follows:


Sec.  30.29  Reporting of repairs and replacements.

* * * * *
    (a) The return of goods previously imported only for repair and 
alteration to the foreign shipper of temporarily imported goods 
(declared as such on importation) shall have Schedule B number 
9801.10.0000. The value reported shall only include parts and labor. If 
the value of the parts and labor is over $2,500 per Schedule B number, 
or a license or DDTC license exemption statement is required, then EEI 
must be filed. The value of the original product shall not be included.
    (b) * * *
    (2) Goods that are replaced under warranty at no charge to the 
customer shall include the statement, ``Product replaced under 
warranty, value for EEI purposes'' on the bill of lading, air waybill, 
or other commercial loading documents. Place the notation below the 
proof of filing citation or exemption legend on the commercial 
document. Report the Schedule B number or HTSUSA classification 
commodity number of the replacement parts. Report the value of the 
replacement parts in accordance with 30.6(a)(17).
    17. Revise Sec.  30.35 to read as follows:


Sec.  30.35  Procedure for shipments exempt from filing requirements.

    Except as noted in Sec.  30.2(a)(1)(iv), where an exemption from 
the filing requirement is provided in this subpart of this part, a 
legend describing the basis for the exemption shall be made on the 
first page of the bill of lading, air waybill, or other commercial 
loading document for carrier use, or on the carrier's outbound 
manifest. The exemption legend shall reference the number of the 
section or provision in this part where the particular exemption is 
provided (see Appendix D of this part).
    18. Amend Sec.  30.36 by revising paragraph (b) introductory text 
and paragraph (b)(2); and adding paragraphs (b)(7) and (b)(8) to read

reporting):
* * * * *
    (2) Exports moving from the United States through Canada to a third 
destination.
* * * * *

Sec.  30.37  Miscellaneous exemptions.

    Except as noted in Sec.  30.2 (a)(1)(iv), filing EEI is not 
required for the following kinds of shipments. However, the Census 
Bureau has the authority to periodically require the reporting of 
shipments that are normally exempt from filing.
    (a) Exports of commodities where the value of the commodities 
shipped from one USPPI to one consignee on a single exporting carrier, 
classified under an individual Schedule B number or HTSUSA commodity 
classification code, is $2,500 or less. This exemption applies to 
individual Schedule B numbers or HTSUSA commodity classification codes 
regardless of the total shipment value. In instances where a shipment 
contains a mixture of individual Schedule B numbers or HTSUSA commodity 
classification codes valued at $2,500 or less and individual Schedule B 
numbers or HTSUSA commodity classification codes valued over $2,500, 
only those Schedule B numbers or HTSUSA commodity classification codes 
valued over $2,500 are required to be reported. If the filer reports 
multiple items of the same Schedule B number or HTSUSA commodity 
classification code, this exemption only applies if the total value of 
exports for the Schedule B number or HTSUSA commodity classification 
code is $2,500 or less. Items of domestic or foreign origin under the 
same commodity classification number must be reported separately and 
required when valued over $2,500. For the reporting of household goods 
see Sec.  30.38. Note: this exemption does not apply to the export of 
vehicles or household goods. The export information for vehicles and 
household goods must be filed in AES regardless of value or country of 
destination.
* * * * *
    (e) Vessels, locomotives, aircraft, rail cars, trucks, other 
vehicles, trailers, pallets, cargo vans, lift vans, or similar shipping 
containers not considered ``shipped'' in terms of the regulations in 
this part, when they are moving, either loaded or empty, without 
transfer of ownership or title, in their capacity as carriers of goods 
or as instruments of such carriers, and EEI filing is not required.
* * * * *
    (g) Shipments of books, maps, charts, pamphlets, and similar 
articles to foreign libraries, government establishments, or similar 
institutions.
* * * * *
    (s) Exports of technical data and defense service exemptions as 
defined in 22 CFR 123.22(b)(3)(iii) of the ITAR.
    20. Revise Sec.  30.38 to read as follows:


Sec.  30.38  Exemption from the requirements for reporting complete 
commodity information.

    Regardless of value, household goods of usual and reasonable kinds 
and quantities of personal property, such as wearing apparel, articles 
of personal adornment, toilet articles, medicinal supplies, food, 
souvenirs, games, and their containers require limited reporting of 
EEI. These goods should be for use by the USPPI or the USPPI's 
immediate family, not intended for sale; and shipped under a bill of 
lading or an air waybill. In such cases, Schedule B or HTSUSA commodity 
classification codes and domestic/foreign indicator shall not be 
required.
    21. Revise Sec.  30.39 to read as follows:


Sec.  30.39  Special exemptions for shipments to the U.S. Armed 
Services.

required for any and all commodities, whether shipped commercially or 
through government channels, consigned to the U.S. Armed Services for 
their exclusive use, including shipments to armed services exchange 
systems. This exemption does not apply to articles that are on the USML 
and thus controlled by the ITAR and/or shipments that are not consigned 
to the U.S. Armed Services, regardless of whether they may be for their 
ultimate and exclusive use.
    22. Amend Sec.  30.40 by revising the introductory text and 
removing paragraph (d) to read as follows:

following: Bill of lading, air waybill, export shipping instructions, 
manifest, train consist, or other commercial loading documents, and any 
other document CBP determines necessary to ensure compliance with U.S. 
export control laws. The required document shall contain the 
appropriate AES proof of filing citations, covering all cargo for which 
the EEI is required, or exemption legends, covering cargo for which EEI

end of each calendar month the operator will deliver to CBP Port 
Director the proof of filing citations or exemption legends covering 
all exports through the pipeline to each consignee during the month.
    25. Amend Sec.  30.47 by revising paragraphs (a) and (b) to read as

require the two letter designation of the Canadian region of origin to 
be reported on U.S. entry summary records. This information is required 
only for U.S. imports that under applicable CBP rules of origin are 
determined to originate in Canada. For nonmanufactured goods determined 
to be of Canadian origin, the region of origin is defined as the region 
where the exported goods were originally grown, mined, or otherwise 
produced. For goods of Canadian origin that are manufactured or 
assembled in Canada, with the exception of the certain softwood lumber 
products described in paragraph (a) of this section, the region of 
origin is that in which the final manufacture or assembly is performed 
prior to exporting that good to the United States. In cases where the

    (1) Failure to file violations. A failure to file violation occurs 
if the government discovers that there is no AES record for an export 
transaction by the applicable period prescribed in Sec.  30.4 of this 
part. Any AES record filed later than ten (10) calendar days after the
