at the point of exit. It serves a twofold purpose 1.
Primarily, it is used by the U.S. Bureau of Census
for the compilation of export statistics on United
States foreign trade (for this reason an export declaration
is required for practically all shipments from the
United States to foreign countries and the United States
possessions, except for mail shipments of small value,
or for those of a non commercial character); 2. The
declaration also serves as an export control document

export. If the goods may be exported under general
export license, this fact must be stated on the export
declaration. |
