Use cases
When to file an IE

A quicker turnaround means less time sitting in a warehouse or terminal.

Full IE lifecycle: $60
Start a 7512Close the IE as soon as it leaves
Even though IE cargo never leaves the port, the in-bond stays open in ACE until the export is reported. Send the export message as soon as the cargo departs so it doesn't show up on an overdue in-bond report.

| In-bond type | Where the cargo goes | Exported? | Steps | Full cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT · Type 61Immediate Transportation | Another U.S. port | No, enters U.S. commerce at destination | File → Arrive | $55 |

When should I use an IE instead of a T&E?
Use an IE when the cargo will be exported from the same port where it arrived. Use a T&E when it has to travel to a different U.S. port to be exported.
Does IE cargo enter U.S. commerce?
No. IE cargo stays within the port and is exported, so no formal U.S. entry is filed for it.
How fast is IE filing?
Our system transmits the filing electronically as soon as you submit it, any time of day. That means faster turnarounds and lower storage fees.
What closes an IE in-bond?
The export message. Once the cargo departs, send the export through the portal and the in-bond is closed in ACE.
