EAR and AES

US export rules, checked before we book

Most goods exported from the US are subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Whether or not your goods need a license, the filing has to be right. This is what we do on each Europe booking.

  • AES / EEI filing

    We file the Electronic Export Information in AES when the shipment requires it and put the ITN on your shipping documents before the cargo sails.

  • Export classification

    We ask for the Schedule B number and the export classification (an ECCN, or EAR99) and carry them onto the filing. If an item needs a license for its destination, the cargo waits until the exporter has it.

  • Party screening

    We screen the buyer, consignee and other parties against the OFAC sanctions list (SDN) before booking, and flag anything that needs a closer look.

Questions

Shipping to Europe: common questions

How long does shipping to Europe take?
It depends on the carrier, the routing and the destination port. When you request a quote we give you current transit times for each option.
Do you offer shared containers (LCL)?
Yes. If you do not have enough cargo for a full container, we consolidate it with other shipments so you only pay for the space you use.
What does my buyer in Europe need?
An EORI number to clear customs in the EU or the UK. They normally pay the import duty and VAT. We confirm what they need before your cargo sails.
Can you pick up anywhere in the US?
Yes. We arrange trucking from your door anywhere in the country to the departure port or airport.
Do you handle air freight to Europe?
Yes. As an IATA-accredited agent we book air cargo directly with the airlines for urgent or high-value shipments.
How do I pay my invoice?
Online through PayCargo. We are Lightning-rated, which means cargo is released within 60 minutes of payment.
