Research Development

Our team helps researchers identify potential funding and prepare competitive proposals. We conduct informational workshops, provide proposal development support, assist with funding searches, and coordinate limited submissions and internal programs.

Shipper’s Export Declarations

U.S. Customs and Border Protection require the electronic filing into the Automated Export System (AES) of all international shipments that exceed $2,500 in value. The filing is called a “Shipper’s Export Declaration” (SED). The SED filing into AES is required for all international shipments made under an export license regardless of value. The Office of Export Compliance can properly lodge a SED on your behalf.
