USPPI EEI Required Data Elements, and Compliance Alerts, In this article, we’ll discuss the USPPI, Electronic export information (EEI), required data elements, and compliance alerts. While the purpose of USPPI is the same in all transactions, there are some differences. To understand the differences between standard and routed transactions, we’ll look at an example. Let’s say Company A manufactures lamps in the United States, sells them to Company B in Canada, and then authorizes Company B to export the lamps to the ultimate consignee in France.
Principal Party of Interest (USPPI)
A US Principal Party of Interest (USPPI) is a person or entity in the United States that receives the primary benefit from a foreign trade transaction. Typically, this person or entity will be the seller, producer, or order party. However, a USPPI can also be an agent or other foreign entity involved in an export transaction. Listed below are the characteristics of a USPPI.
Electronic export information (EEI)
Electronic export information is the record of an export transaction. EEI is required for shipments of more than $2,500 in value or requiring an export license. This form is prepared by the exporter and filed electronically through the Automated Export System (AES). It is used by the Bureau of Commerce, Census Bureau, and Customs and Border Protection to collect trade statistics and make sure exporters comply with U.S. export regulations.
Required data elements
When a USPPI or authorized agent transports goods through a pipeline, it is required to report certain information electronically. It is the duty of the USPPI or agent to identify changes to EEI electronically, and transmit such information to the AES as soon as they occur. Failure to comply with this obligation is a violation of the rules in this part. The following sections provide guidance on the reporting requirements for the EEI.
Compliance alerts
If you file your export records in the Automated Export System (AES), you may receive USPPI compliance alerts. Compliance alerts are sent to you when your electronic export records do not meet USPPI standards. You may need to update or correct some of these records, but most fields in the AES allow you to do so without triggering a compliance alert. You can correct these errors as long as you submit the report in time.
Revocation of filing privileges
If you are denied postdeparture filing privileges by the Census Bureau, you have the right to appeal the decision. You must contact the agencies responsible for denying your filing privileges, and you must follow the appeal process in order to be heard. If you are denied, you will have 30 days to file an appeal or request an extension. In the meantime, you can wait for your postdeparture filing privileges to be reinstated.
