In accordance with the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), the U.S. Census Bureau (Census)
mandates filing of Electronic Export Information (EEI) through the Automated Export System
(AES) or through AESDirect for all used self-propelled vehicles 72 hours prior to export
regardless of destination, value or condition. (Reference: Federal Register Notice 78 FR 16366,
Title 15 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 30.2(a)(1)(iv)(H) and 15 CFR 30.4(b)(5)).
These regulations apply to all used-self-propelled vehicles. First-time and one-time exports will
require completion and submission of all mandatory AES filing requirements 72 hours prior to
export.
Exporters, carriers or freight forwarders must submit ownership documentation as required under
19 CFR 192, along with the AES-generated Internal Transaction Number (ITN) as proof of filing
(clearly visible on the export documentation) 72 hours prior to export.
Pursuant to the FTR, civil penalties not to exceed $10,000 per violation may be imposed for
failure to file export information in AES, delayed filing, filing of false or misleading
information, and other violations of the FTR.
Recommendations for assistance in initiating and completing this process may be found within
the attached Frequently Asked Questions.
Questions may also be directed to the port of intended export. Port contact information is
located on CBP.gov or at https://www.cbp.gov/trade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Will a foreign entity be permitted to file the EEI in AES for the export of used self-
propelled vehicles?
Answer: A foreign entity must be a U.S. person or entity with an Employer Identification
Number (EIN) or a DUNS number to register and file the EEI in AES/AESDirect. If the foreign
entity does not have an EIN or DUNS number, a U.S. agent must be located and authorized to
file their export information in the AES/AESDirect. If a U.S. agent is authorized to file the EEI
on their behalf, a border crossing number, passport number or any number assigned by CBP will
be required to file in AES/AESDirect.
Question: I am a foreign entity with an EIN or DUNS number, how do I register in
AESDirect?
Answer: AESDirect is a free filing online tool that processes Electronic Export Information
(EEI). For directions on how to access and/or create an AESDirect account, refer to the

For personal vehicle exports, the FPPI will normally be the person who purchased the vehicle in
the U.S. and is completing the export transaction as the ultimate end-use registered owner.
Question: What identification number should a foreign entity provide to the U.S. agent
authorized to file the AES or AESDirect on their behalf?
Answer: The foreign entity may provide a border crossing number, passport number, or any
number assigned by CBP.
Question: I am a U.S. citizen moving to a foreign country and would like to export my vehicle.
How do I file in AES?
Answer: If you are transporting your vehicle and have an EIN or DUNS number, you can
register and file by utilizing AESDirect or hire an U.S. agent to file on your behalf.
Question: If the foreign entity is the USPPI (made the purchase for export while in the U.S.)
or the foreign entity has a U.S. agent to file on their behalf, what U.S. address is required in
AES or AESDirect?
Answer: The foreign entity, or authorized U.S. agent, will use the address location where the
vehicle starts its journey to the port of export; i.e., this may be the address of a hotel or other
address associated to the vehicle purchase acquisition transaction.
