Foreign Trade Data - Export

Description

Information on U.S. exports of merchandise from the U.S. to all countries, 
except Canada, is compiled from copies of Shipper's Export Declarations (SEDs) 
and SED data from qualified exporters, forwarders, or carriers. Copies of SED's 
are required to be filed with Customs officials at the port of export. 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 and Border 
Protection 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 U.S. Census Bureau.

Observations

Approximately 24 million depending on year.

Coverage

Every year from 1992 through 2007
