These regulations are enforced by US Customs and Border Patrol, hence, it is required that under certain circumstances an export information form (EEI) be filed by the shipper of record, when invoice value exceeds $2,500. The filing of the form may have to be done by the shipper, their Freight Forwarder or an Ocean Carrier. If completed by the Shipper or Forwarder, proof of filing must be submitted to the Ocean Carrier.
