What type of information is typically not available on commercial transaction documents for filing an SED/AES record?

The selection of costs of inland freight and cargo insurance as the correct answer stems from the nature of the information typically required for filing an SED (Shipper's Export Declaration) or AES (Automated Export System) record. These records primarily focus on statistical and regulatory information pertinent to the exported goods, including details about the items being exported, their values, and relevant shipping details.

Costs of inland freight and cargo insurance are often considered ancillary costs associated with transportation rather than core transactional data. They may not be explicitly required in the SED/AES documentation, which is more concerned with the actual value of the goods being exported and compliance with export regulations.

In contrast, shipping labels and packing slips, invoice numbers and dates, and payment methods used typically contain necessary details that are relevant to understanding the transaction and ensuring compliance with export regulations. Invoices usually summarize the main aspects of a commercial transaction, including the payment method, which ties directly to the financial side of the transaction. Shipping labels and packing slips provide information on the shipment itself and assist in tracking and logistics.
