SAP GTS - US Reexport Controls

Introduction: The U.S Department of Commerce regulates exports and re-exports of "dual-use" items through EAR (Export Administrative Regulations). If any controlled product is of U.S origin or in anyway connected with U.S then even if it's shipped anywhere from outside the U.S to any other countries, it should be compliant with EAR and require a license from the U.S BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security). When a foreign-based company imports products or components from the U.S and uses them in its production, and then exports the produced materials to another country, the process is known as U.S. Re-export and is subject to U.S. regulations.  Firstly, we need to determine if any foreign-produced materials that contains the U.S origin components are subject to EAR or exempted based on the de-minimis exception. Here the ultimate destination countries are classified as "Non-Critical / Friendly Countries" and...

US AES Filing using SAP GTS

Introduction to US AES Filing: Automated Export System (AES) is a proven technology/system to file the export transactions through online/digital mode. Before AES, US export filing was done through paper which will be time consuming and error prone. AES was implemented in phases around different US ports. Phase 1 was started in 1995 with five vessel ports and later in 1996 expanded to all other ports based on the positive outcome of Phase 1. In 1997 AES was expanded to receive the EEI for all other modes of transport like air / land. The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) AESDirect is the online web-portal for submitting the EEI to the US AES system. SAP Labs is one of the authorized software vendor who is certified to submit the transactions to US CBP electronically. There are many well known companies (like Oracle, HPE, etc..) who are authorized to communicate to US CBP systems electronically. Required shipment data / Commodity EEI (Electronic Export Information) can be transfe...
