Are there any special requirements relating to exports under a validated export license?
(30.7) The validated export license, the SED, and the outbound bill of lading must be consistent with one another. This requirement does not apply to a routed trans-action where the name of the U.S. principal party in interest on the SED, for statistical purposes, may be different from the name of the applicant on the export license under the EAR. 9. Where can I find out if I need a validated export license? By calling: Bureau of Industry and Security U.S. Department of Commerce – Eastern U.S., 202-482-4811; – Western U.S., 949-660-0144; Office of Defense Trade Controls U.S. State Department 703-875-6644 10. Is an SED required for hand-carried merchandise? Yes, unless the merchandise is owned by the individual that is taking it out of the country and not for consumption in a foreign country. Material that is for export and consumption in a foreign country must be reported on an SED. (For “Tools of the Trade” see page 6, question 16.) 11. Is there an official SED form? Why? (30.3) Yes.
