A Declaration of Destination Control (DCS in Part 758.6 of the BIS Export Administration Regulations or AEOI) is required for exports from the United States for items on the Trade Control List that are outside of EAR99 (products that do not require a licence) or controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). A DCS appears on the commercial invoice, sea waybill or air waybill to inform the carrier and all foreign parties that the item can only be exported to certain destinations. For more information, visit the Bureau of Industry and Safety website. Also visit the country trade guides created by our trade exports in the country to U.S. embassies abroad. Each guide includes chapters on how to do business with a particular country. Chapters include the „Sale of U.S. Goods and Services” section and the „Customs Regulations and Standards” section, which highlights requirements and documentation for a particular country of interest. See an example of shipping to China. *Note: The IED is required for shipments to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the former Trust Territories of the Pacific (unless each item in Schedule B of the shipment is less than $2,500), although they are not considered exports. (Shipments to third countries transiting through Canada require an IED.)   A comprehensive guide to storing electronic export information in the automated commerce environment (AESDirect) is a great resource. See EEI and AESDirect.

This document may be required for most or all exports to certain countries or for other countries only in special circumstances. Examples of export license certificates are those issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce`s Bureau of Industry and Security (dual-use items), the U.S. Department of State`s Defense Trade Controls Directorate (defense items), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (nuclear materials), and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (controlled substances and precursor chemicals). the foreign buyer), which clearly indicates the goods for sale and the amount to be paid by the customer. The commercial invoice is one of the main documents used by customs to determine customs duties. These documents are often used by governments to determine the true value of goods when calculating tariffs.

Governments that use commercial invoicing to control imports often specify the form, content, number of copies, language to be used, and other characteristics. A pro forma invoice is an important document that is used as a negotiation tool between the seller and the buyer before an export shipment. This document must be used by the seller to make a quote at the beginning of an export transaction, and it eventually becomes the final commercial invoice that is used when the goods are cleared in the importing country. The document contains a description of the goods (for example. B, quantity, price, weight, type and other specifications) and constitutes a statement by seller to provide the products and services to buyer on the specified date and price. This data is the electronic equivalent of export data previously collected as Shipper Export Declaration (SED) information. The IED must be submitted electronically online through the Automated Export System, which is a free service provided by Census and Customs. It is required for all shipments with items by Schedule B number that exceed $2,500* and for shipments of any value that require an export permit. Depending on the type of product, the type of transaction (i.e. standard or temporary delivery) and the country of destination may require you to submit additional export documents. This can be a generic or FTA certificate of origin, an ATA carnet, a letter of credit or other documents.

For more information, see Special Documents Used in Export Operations. The PHEIC, a mandatory field in the IED as defined in the Foreign Trade Regulations („FTR”), is the person in the United States who receives the primary monetary or other benefit from the export transaction. The attached article describes the responsibilities of the PHEIC and provides a practical checklist to ensure compliance with U.S. export regulations. Much more detailed and informative than a standard national packing list, an export packing list lists the seller, buyer, sender, invoice number, shipping date, mode of transport, carrier and lists the quantity, description, type of package, e.B a box, box, drum or carton, the quantity of packages, the total net weight and gross weight (in kilograms), packaging marks and, where applicable, dimensions. Both commercial paper mills and freight forwarders have packing list forms with them. A packing list can be used as a compliant document. It does not replace a commercial invoice. == References ===== External links ===And foreign customs officers can use the packing list to check the cargo, so the commercial invoice should reflect the information provided on the packing list. To find out what documents are required for an export shipment, the best starting point is your foreign customer/importer or carrier. By getting the correct information, you help your customer to efficiently clear the goods in the target market.

There are two common types of maritime transport: a simple consignment note, which is not negotiable, and a negotiable consignment note or consignment note. The latter can be used to buy, sell or exchange the goods during transport. The customer usually needs an original bill of lading as proof of ownership in order to take possession of the goods from the ocean carrier.  An air waybill accompanies goods shipped by an international air carrier. The document contains detailed information about the shipment and allows you to track it. Air waybills are shipper-specific and non-negotiable documents (as opposed to „order” bills of lading used for ship shipments). .
