Did you confirm with the US POE that you actually need to file EEI? (RIV's website says you do but this would be a US requirement as has nothing to do with RIV). From my interpretation of the information on the AES website, it does not apply to vehicles being exported to Canada.stevedask wrote: ↑Below is the response from RIV - This looks like another hurdle to jump now when importing!
Appears this new requirement as of Oct. 2 2014 totally cuts off the ability for an individual Canadian citizen from being able to do what is required to export a vehicle and forces one to get a 3rd party involved (at a cost) as A Canadian will have to look into a customs broker now to file this Electronic exporting paperwork.
Response form RIV I received today:
Good day,
As per our understanding, AES must be filled out by an American party. Should you require assistance with this, you may contact a customs broker.
If you have any questions or would like to know more, please go to about AES.

Question
========
The new export rules that are now in effect require me to file EEI and you say to visit the U.S. Customs webpage 'About AES' and the Census AESDirect website for self-serve option to file EEI free of charge. Looks like I need to open a AES "account" to file EEI and the accounts are geared towards US companies only. Is there a way for a Canadian to file the EEI or set up an AES account?

...There are instances when the EEI is not required. Some examples of when the EEI does not have to be prepared by an exporter and filed by the carrier are as follows:
