Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An SED is a U.S. Department of Commerce form used to control export shipments and record export statistics. It contains the names and addresses of the shipper and consignee, the U.S. port of exit and foreign port of unloading, a description and value of the goods, the export license number and bill-of-lading number, and the name of the carrier transporting the merchandise. Shippers or their agents (foreign freight forwarders) deliver the SED to the carrier, which turns it into U.S. Customs with the carrier's manifest (list of the vessel's cargo) before the carrier leaves the United States. The filing of this form is electronic.
