Routed export transactions always seem to be a hot topic. We receive numerous questions via our call center, webinars and seminars as companies look to better understand their roles and responsibilities to remain compliant.
The Foreign Trade Regulations (FTRs) define a routed export transaction as a transaction in which the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI) authorizes a U.S. agent to facilitate export of items from the United States on its behalf, and prepare and file the Electronic Export Information (EEI). In this type of transaction, the FPPI is controlling the movement of the goods.
