FAQS

Does shipping to Alaska or Hawaii require any special forms or documentation?

Since both Alaska and Hawaii shipments are considered domestic freight, a Bill of Lading is the only required form. We deliver each shipment to Alaska or Hawaii on an Estes freight bill.

Does shipping to Caribbean and Puerto Rico require any special forms or documentation?

Freight destined to the Caribbean or Puerto Rico requires a Bill of Lading, a Commercial Invoice, and an Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing. It’s very helpful to have the Commercial Invoice at the time of pickup whenever possible, and the importer’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) must be provided to avoid delays once the shipment arrives.

What is an Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing?

An Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing is required for single commodity items of $2,500 or more (some exceptions apply). The person or entity that receives the primary benefit, monetary or otherwise, from the export transaction is the party responsible for the EEI filing.

Specific information on the EEI includes the importer’s Employer Identification Number (EIN), the telephone number of the consignee, commodity description, weight or dimensions (or cube), and the invoice value.

Shippers can file an EEI themselves at www.cbp.gov/ace, or they can authorize Estes to file the EEI on their behalf by signing an authorization form and providing additional shipment information.

Will I be able to track my freight while it’s in transit?

Yes. You can track your offshore shipment online the same way you would track any other domestic freight with the PRO, Bill of Lading, Purchase Order, or Interline PRO numbers.
