Revision of Section 30.56(b): Conditional Exemptions for Filing Shipper's Export Declarations (SED) for Tools of Trade

الملخص

The Bureau of the Census proposes to amend the Foreign Trade Statistics Regulations (FTSR) to include an exemption for exporters who currently must file a Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) for temporary exports of tools of trade. This exemption would apply whenever the tools of trade are company-owned commodities and software, accompany the employees or representatives of the exporting company, and are intended to remain outside of the country for less than one year. The current regulation only allows an exemption for filing an SED when the tools of trade are owned by individuals. This exemption will still apply.
