Through which system is the Electronic Export Information (EEI) submitted?

The Electronic Export Information (EEI) is submitted through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). ACE is the primary system used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for processing imports and exports. It facilitates the electronic filing of import and export data, ensuring that these processes are streamlined and efficiently managed. By utilizing ACE, exporters can submit their EEI data directly to CBP, allowing for improved compliance with U.S. export regulations while also enhancing the speed and accuracy of trade reporting.

The use of ACE for submitting EEI aligns with the move towards digital systems in international trade, which reduce paperwork and help businesses operate more efficiently. ACE also provides real-time visibility and analytics for both regulatory agencies and businesses, which aids in better decision-making and compliance oversight.
