Abstract: Information collected from the principal party in interest through the SED/AES record is used to compile the official U.S. Government statistics on U.S. exports or for use in the detection and prevention of exports of high technology items or military goods to unauthorized destinations or end users. The statistics along with U.S. import statistics are used to calculate the U.S. balance of trade, a leading economic indicator and part of the "Gross Domestic Product" compilation. These data are also used extensively in U.S. trade policy decisions and to monitor international trade agreements.
