International Shipping Companies - In Depth: Shipper's Export Declaration (Part 3)

Shipping a car overseas can seem overwhelming at first, but can be made much easier by relying on an experienced international shipping company like K International Transport for guidance. One step of the process many individuals looking to ship a car internationally are unfamiliar with is the Shipper's Export Declaration. In this series I will go through and explain the the Shipper's Export Declaration, so the Automated Export System (AES) is no longer a scary term.

This part of this series covers the "Freight Forwarder" and "Intermediate Consignee Information" sections of the shipper's export declaration that must be filed if you want to obtain an AES Internal Transaction Number (ITN), which is required if you want to transport a car overseas.


  • Freight Forwarder Information - A Freight Forwarder is an entity that organizes shipments. Akin to a travel agent for international cargo. K International Transport is a licensed freight forwarder.
    • Name of Company
    • EIN Number
      • Employer Identification Number
    • Contact Name
    • Contact Phone
    • Address
  • Intermediate Consignee Information -Generally the information of the Consignee's agent at Port of Discharge. There are times when there is no intermediate consignee. This agent sometimes will claim, customs clear, and deliver the cargo to the ultimate consignee.
    • Name of Company
    • Contact Name
    • Contact Phone
    • Address

While at first glance it may not appear to be all the helpful, but knowing what information your freight forwarder needs in order to file the Shipper's Export Declaration will expedite the process of shipping cars internationally. K International Transport has over 20 years of experience in filing Shipper's Export Declarations, and while we like our customers to have an understanding of the shipping process (that's why I am writing this!) we are happy to keep up to date on changing export regulations so you don't have to!
