  FAQ: Regulations:

Is AES the reason behind why we exporters are starting to receive letters from our sea carriers? Is it driving this informed/enforced compliance we're hearing about?

NO. These letters are a result of the Informed/Enforced Outbound compliance program. Although exporters are required to have the SED filed with the carrier prior to exportation, it is the carrier who is penalized if the freight departs without the SED in their possession.
