When do you need to file EEI with this code?

Under the Foreign Trade Regulations, you (or your freight forwarder) must file Electronic Export Information in AESDirect, reporting this Schedule B number, when:

  • the value of the goods under this Schedule B number in one shipment is more than $2,500; or
  • the goods need an export license, whatever their value; or
  • the shipment goes to a destination or party for which the regulations always require EEI.

Shipments from the U.S. to Canada generally do not require EEI unless a license is needed. Always confirm the current rules in 15 CFR part 30 (sections 30.2, 30.36 and 30.37) and the product's export classification with the Bureau of Industry and Security.
