What do the changes in Electronic AES Filing Requirements Mean for the Average Exporter!

noemail@gateway-group.com — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT

Sept. 1st, 2008 will mark a change that has long been coming in the Ocean Export AES Regulations that all exporters must meet. The Paper SED that once was the standard operating procedure for Steamship Lines/Forwarders and Exporters will be officially extinct, and the Government has issued the teeth to make sure the burial of the Paper SED is complete in the forms of much stiffer fines for Non Compliance. Gateway Logistics Group with US Offices in Houston and Miami are ready for these changes, and stand ready to serve. Here is a link to the US Census Statement about this new change in regulations. http://www.gateway-group.com/en/art/?20 So what does this mean to the average Exporter? Most Steamship Lines are going to a NO DOCUMENT/NO LOAD policy when it comes to AES requirements. Some have actually created paperwork cutoffs that mirror equipment turn in cutoffs for return of Containers to Port Facilities. Now an exporter must make sure his container is returned loaded correctly to...

Container Shortage Puts U.S. Export Boom in a Box

noemail@gateway-group.com — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:45:00 GMT

The Wall Street Journal Many U.S. companies hoping to profit from surging exports created by the weak dollar are facing an unexpected hurdle: There arent enough of the big, metal shipping containers that help form the backbone of the global economy. The shortage is threatening to limit the benefits U.S. producers can reap from one of the few bright spots in an otherwise troubled economy. While housing and financial markets have slumped, many companies have seen a rise in their export business, helping offset the domestic slump and lessening what would have already been a far more painful downturn. Finding enough of the big metal boxes used to be a cinch, because the nations massive hunger for imports meant they were constantly arriving and stacking up from Long Beach, Calif., to Long Island, N.Y. Shipping companies typically scoured the country for anyone willing to fill outgoing boxes. But with the slump in the value of the dollar making U.S. goods more attractive to foreign...

To our Valued Customers, On our forms page http://www.gateway-group.com/faqs/index.asp please find information for the International Plant Protection Convention standard for Wood Packaging Materials. This will be implemented on September 16, 2005. The United States, along with 136 countries, have decided to tackle the issues of pests from other countries that wipe out entire forests.

Therefore, all wood with the exception of plywood, particle board, wine and whiskey barrels, and oriental strand board, must meet these standards. If you import into the United States and your shipper did not use the treated wood with the required stamps, US Customs has stated that they will stop the shipment and require you to ship it back to origin immediately. Please contact your shippers to insure that they are in compliance. If you import from Countries that did not sign this agreement,...

noemail@gateway-group.com — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT

Census’ new FTR tightens enforcement, increases penalties Consider an action plan for compliance The Census Bureau (Census) published its long-awaited final rule on the new Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), which eliminates paper documentation and requires exporters to use the Automated Export System (AES) or AESDirect. To view the final rule in its entirety, click here. In addition to clarifying multiple FTR, the rule also significantly increases penalties with greater enforcement from the Department of Commerce (DOC) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While the rule’s effective date is set at July 2, it will not be formally implemented until September 30.

Gateway Logistics Group Provides Specialized Transportation Planning and Execution of Super Heavy Load

noemail@gateway-group.com — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:00:00 GMT

Gateway Logistics Group provides Specialized Transportation Planning and Execution of Super Heavy Load

Gateway Logistics an experienced provider of specialized transportation planning and execution was awarded a contract to provide the safe delivery of 2 specially engineered package boilers. Once the 10 month fabrication process was completed, the execution stage began. This included the transfer of the boilers from the fabrication yard located in Mississippi to a barge which arrived safely to the Port of Houston. The first boiler was then transferred to a specially configured “dual lane - super load transporter” that has made its way from Houston, Texas to Washington State, with final delivery of the first unit to Blaine, Washington.

Each Boiler Package weighs almost (115 tons) 230,000 pounds, however when combined with the specialized transporter it totals more than 480,000 pounds. During the transport process the total length of the specialty permitted convoy was more than 200’ long, 21’ wide and 15’ in height. The movement of super heavy loads requires months of front end planning prior to execution in order to determine safest transport route for the material.

The first load is currently in the final stages of delivery in the State of Washington with expected delivery during the next week. The second boiler unit will be in route once the specially configured transporter is back in Houston in order for the entire process to be repeated.

On Sept 15th, 2005 Gateway International Clearance Services, Inc. the Customs Brokerage arm of the Gateway Logistics Group, received it Customs Broker National Permit. The permit number is 05-0221.
