Update to Mandatory AES 24-Hour Ruling

August 6, 2008 -- Please be advised that we have revised the U.S. and Inter-Island 24-Hour Shippers Export Declaration (SED) Departure Schedules to include the cargo cut-offs.   

The entire Federal Trade Regulations along with other information, including a list of frequently asked questions, can also be found on the Census website at www.census.gov/trade.

Tropical Shipping will need to present certain cargo information to the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection 24 hours before loading the vessel. This requires the shipper to have the documentation completed earlier and the SED filed 24 hours before loading the vessel. There is the potential of cargo missing the vessel if documentation has not been received within the mandated time frame, which impacts when the consignee will receive their cargo.

Below, you will find the new clause text required for AES filings, effective September 30, 2008.
