EEI Filings: When, How, & Who’s Responsible

What to include, when they’re needed, and who does what?
It’s easy for EEI to be a low priority for freight forwarders, shippers, and customs brokers, but you’re still responsible for filing it! In this webinar Michael D. Easton from Star USA talks about EEI – rules, roles, regulations, exemptions, exceptions, penalties, filing fundamentals, accountability, tips, and resources – and ends with lots of Q&A.
Quick Tip: Remember the One Rule when doing EEI filing! Split up your EEIs so each EEI covers all goods being sent from
- one USPPI to
- one foreign consignee in
- one country of destination on
- one conveyance on
- one day
Topics Include:
- The Foreign Trade Regulations & what they cover
- When EEI filing is and isn’t required
- How far in advance to file the EEI
- Routed versus nonrouted transactions
- Recordkeeping requirements
