Description
Statistical Reference Document

Excerpt
Excerpt: Published information on U.S. exports of merchandise from the United States to all countries, except Canada, is compiled primarily from copies of Shipper?s Export Declarations (SED?s) that must be filed with customs officials. The SED is unique among Census Bureau forms since it is not sent to respondents soliciting responses, as in the case of surveys. The U.S. Customs Service initially collects the SED at the port of export and subsequently transmits it to the Census Bureau. Each SED represents a shipment of one or more kinds of merchandise from one exporter to one foreign importer on a single carrier. Filing the SED is mandatory under Chapter 9, Title 13, United States Code. Qualified exporters, forwarders, or carriers submit SED data by automated means directly to the Bureau of the Census.
