FCL AUTOMATED EXPORT SYSTEM (AES)
Please click on the company name below to view
their AES policy:
 As all of you should be aware, effective September 30, 2008, the
AES Pre-filing regulation will go into enforcement. With this,
customers will either have to supply an ITN number, AES
port-departure citation or AES exemption or exclusion legend
prior to cargo loading to a vessel.
In addition, final bill of lading instructions must be received
by Hyundai by vessel sailing or penalties will be assessed due
to the failure for Hyundai to submit a completed manifest to
U.S. Customs as per the 19 CFR 4.75 within 4 days of vessel
sailing.
As announced in January 2007, Hyundai exercised its right to add
these customs penalty fees to the bill of lading as per our
tariff rule HDMU-046 Rule 2-27 item C at $50/day until receipt
of bill of lading instructions.
Taking this into consideration and the planned monetary increase
of these penalties by U.S. Customs ranging from $1,100 for the
first violations to $10,000 per violation thereafter, Hyundai
will increase the per day CUL charge effective as follows:
Current: $50/Day Until Receipt
Effective October 22, 2008: $150/Day Until Receipt
Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to
contact your local Hyundai Representative or one of our Regional
Customer Service Centers in Phoenix, Chicago, or Charlotte.
As you know, effective October
1, 2008 all U.S. Principal Party in Interests (Exporter) and
authorized agents (Forwarders) must file their Shipper's Export
Declarations (SED) electronically via the Automated Export
System (AES) 24 hours prior to cargo loading.
The Carriers are not to load any cargo without the ITN, the AES
post-departure statement or the AES exemption statement.
In order for Hyundai to meet U.S. Customs requirements, we have
established a documentation cut off time of "24 hours prior to
CY cargo cut off". This date is subject to change based on the
review of terminal operations after implementation.
Please review these two Hyundai Documentation Cut-Off Schedules,
one inclusive of the first vessel/voyage by service and load
port affected by the new export regulations (Schedule
A) and the other excluding this information (Schedule
B).
Please submit your proof of filing AES ITN citation, AES
post-departure statement or the AES exemption or exclusion
legend statement inclusive of the a) USPPI and/or authorized
agent Name, b) Booking number, and c) Vessel/voyage details so
that we may confirm the cargo booked against our records. We
will accept this information via Email or Fax and multiple
bookings may be applied on one form.
Please bear in mind that you will still be required to submit
complete and accurate Shipping Instructions prior to the vessel
departure or Hyundai will continue to apply the full CUL
(Customs Penalty Fees) charge to the B/L.
Please be advised, if the proof of filing citation or statement
is NOT received by Hyundai by the documentation cut off, all
bookings with cargo on dock will be assessed the below charges
which will be applied to the B/L. In addition, any storage
charges incurred after the free time expires will be re-billed
separately.
Administration Fee: $200.00 per B/L (B/L charge code ADA)
Container Shifting/Mounting Fee: $150.00 per container (B/L
charge code SMC).
Please find below Government Agency Websites for your easy
reference and inquiries regarding the new export regulations.

 Mediterranean
Shipping Company reminds all shippers that, since July 2, 2008
the U.S. Census Bureau & Custom Border Protection requires
mandatory filing of export information prior to vessel departure
through the Automated Export System (AES) for all shipments.
The regulations call for the export information to be filed in
AES according to specific timeframe, and it is now fully
implemented with effective date September 30th, 2008.
The shipper or its authorized agent will be required to provide
to the exporting carrier AES ITN or exemption legend prior to
exporting at scheduled port where the cargo is loaded. Failure
to provide to the carrier the AES ITN or exemption legend would
result in the inability by the carrier to load the cargo onto
the assigned vessel. In the event any cargo is loaded without
the mandatory filing, a fine of US$10,000 per Bill of Lading is
assessed by U.S. Census Bureau & Custom Border Protection.
Mediterranean Shipping Company wants to make sure that our
supporters are aware:
a) to file and provide information in accordance with the U.S.
Census Bureau & Custom Border Protection;
b) to pass the information to the carrier in due time and in
line with the cargo s receiving policy, and the documentation
cut-off implemented by the same;
c) that cargo will NOT be loaded and roll due to non compliance,
and that same would be subject to roll-over fee; late
documentation fee; demurrage; storage; re-handling; and any
charge assessed by the terminal and the carrier in line with
their published tariff.
Mediterranean Shipping Company will operate under the following
guidelines:
a) it would be mandatory to receive master bill of lading with
AES ITN or exemption legend by minimum 2 days before vessel s
arrival. The deadline for the receipt of the master & AES would
be 12:00 noon, local time of the office of pertinence and
receipt. The instructions to where to send the information are
posted on the booking confirmation. We kindly request to review
these instructions and make sure are properly followed and
understood;
b) upon deadline, the carrier will instruct the terminal
operators to remove from the load list all units for which NO
documents were received, and apply all charges related to this
operation.
Mediterranean Shipping Company reminds all shippers how
important it is to provide the carriers with correct and timely
information, and obey by the guidelines as instructed.
Mediterranean Shipping Company also informs their customers that
Maher Terminal (New York) has decided, with immediate effect, to
implement a re-handling fee of $425/PC during normal working
hours, and $550/PC during overtime hours.
