15 C.F.R. § 30.12 Time and place for presenting the SED, exemption legends or proof of filing citations.
Title 15 - Commerce and Foreign Trade
The following conditions govern the time and place to present paper SEDs, exemption legends, or proof of filing citations. It is the duty of the USPPI or the authorized agent to deliver the required number of copies of the SED, the exemption legends, or the proof of filing citations when the cargo is tendered to the exporting carrier. Information on items identified on the CCL of the EAR (15 CFR Supp. No. 1 to Part 774) or the USML of the ITAR (22 CFR part 121) that would otherwise require the filing of an SED, must be filed through the AES. Information for items identified on the USML, including those exported under an export license exemption, must be filed electronically prior to export, unless exempted from the SED filing requirements by the State Department. For State Department USML shipments, refer to the ITAR (22 CFR parts 120–130) for more specific requirements concerning the AES proof of filing citation and filing time. Failure of the USPPI or the authorized agent of either the USPPI or foreign principal party in interest to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of the provisions of these regulations, and renders such principal party or the authorized agent subject to the penalties provided for in §30.95 of this part. (a) Postal exports. SEDs for exports of items being sent by mail, as required in §30.1 of this part, shall be presented to the postmaster with the packages at the time of mailing. (b) Pipeline exports. SEDs for exports being sent by pipeline are not required to be presented prior to exportation; however, they are required to be filed within four (4) working days after the end of each calendar month. These SEDs must be filed with the CBP Port Director having jurisdiction for the pipeline, and the filer must deliver the SED in the number of copies specified in §30.5 of this part to cover exports to each consignee during the calendar month. (c) Exports by other methods of transportation. For exports sent other than by mail or pipeline, the required number of copies of SEDs as prescribed in §30.5 of this part shall be delivered to the exporting carrier when the cargo is tendered to the exporting carrier. (d) Exports filed via AES. For exports filed through the AES, it is the duty of the USPPI or the authorized agent to deliver to the exporting carrier, the AES exemption legends as provided for in §30.65 of this part or the AES proof of filing citation as provided for in 22 CFR (parts 120–130) of the ITAR when the cargo is tendered to the exporting carrier for transport to the foreign country.
