  1. What is a 'routed export transaction' and who has EEI filing responsibility?

    Answer: A transaction where the foreign buyer controls U.S. export logistics; the authorized agent files EEI

    In a routed export transaction, the foreign principal party in interest controls the export and authorizes a U.S. agent to file EEI, transferring filing responsibility from the U.S. seller.

  2. Which entity maintains the Consolidated Screening List (CSL) used by exporters to screen parties in transactions?

    Answer: A combination of Commerce, State, and Treasury Departments

    The Consolidated Screening List combines restricted party lists from the Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury into a single searchable tool for export compliance screening.

  3. A Carnét (ATA Carnet) is primarily used for which type of export scenario?

    Answer: Temporary export of goods for trade shows, professional equipment, or commercial samples

    An ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows temporary duty-free import of goods into member countries for trade shows, professional equipment use, or as commercial samples.

  4. Under EAR Part 736, what are the 'Ten General Prohibitions'?

    Answer: Ten specific export behaviors that require a license or are prohibited regardless of item classification

    The Ten General Prohibitions in EAR Part 736 define specific export activities that require a license or are outright prohibited, such as exporting without a required license or violating license conditions.

  5. When a Letter of Credit requires an 'on board' Bill of Lading, what specific notation must appear on the document?

    Answer: 'Shipped on board' with the vessel name, port of loading, and date goods were loaded

    An 'on board' notation must state that goods have been shipped on board a named vessel, including the port of loading and the on-board date, confirming actual loading versus mere receipt by the carrier.

  6. What is the significance of the ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) 'EAR99' designation?

    Answer: The item is subject to EAR but not listed on the CCL; generally no license required for most destinations

    EAR99 items are subject to EAR jurisdiction but fall below the threshold of CCL control, typically requiring no export license except to embargoed countries, denied parties, or for WMD end uses.

  7. Which document is used to request a preferential duty rate under a Free Trade Agreement when goods are imported into a partner country?

    Answer: Certificate of Origin or Origin Declaration per the applicable FTA

    To claim preferential tariff treatment under an FTA, the importer must present a Certificate of Origin or an approved origin declaration that certifies the goods meet the agreement's rules of origin.
