PART 30--FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart C--Special Provisions Applicable Under Particular Circumstances
 
Sec. 30.39  Authorization for reporting statistical information other than by means of individual Shipper's Export Declarations filed for each shipment.

    (a) The Census Bureau, with the concurrence of appropriate 
government agencies, may authorize exemptions from the requirement of 
Sec. 30.6 that a separate Shipper's Export Declaration be filed for each 
shipment.
    (b) Application for certification and approval to file shipper's 
export data electronically using the Automated Export System (AES) can 
be made directly to the Census Bureau in accordance with the provisions 
specified in Sec. 30.60. Certification and approval procedures and 
qualification standards for filing shipper's export data electronically 
are contained in Sec. 30.62.
    (c) Authorization for other alternative methods of filing shipper's 
export information will be issued only when, in the judgment of the 
Census Bureau, complete and accurate information will be available on a 
prescribed basis from the records of the applicant and where the 
alternate filing method for shipments represents a reduction of 
reporting cost or burden. Where export control is a consideration, such 
authorizations will be granted only when, in the judgment of the 
appropriate controlling government agency, the applicant has 
demonstrated that it has established adequate internal operating 
procedures and has taken other satisfactory safeguards to assure 
compliance with export control regulations of the appropriate government 
agency or agencies.
