An SED/EEI is used by the U.S. Census Bureau to compile official U.S. export statistics. It’s also used for export control. Exports originating from the U.S., Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands require an SED/EEI if any commodity in the shipment fits any of these criteria: • Customs value of more than US $2,500. • Requires Commerce (formally validated) export license • Destined to a Proscribed Country. To determine whether or not your shipment requires an SED/EEI, call toll-free: 1.888.333.3976, weekdays, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Central Time.
