What is an EEI form and do I need one?

An Electronic Export Information form or EEI is a U.S. Customs form required If the value of any item in your package is over $2,500 USD. If the value of the shipment's contents exceeds $2,500 USD, we can only ship DHL or FedEx due to import and export regulations.

If you are used to the term SED form, the Shipper's Export Declaration is the former name of what is now an EEI form.

We charge an equivalent amount of  US $ 50.00 flat fee if you'd like us to prepare your EEI form.
