Which of the following is included in the electronic export information/shipper's export declaration form?

1. Invoice details

2. Description of goods, shipping weight, parties, and destination

3. Insurance coverage information

4. Payment instructions

The correct answer is: Description of goods, shipping weight, parties, and destination

The electronic export information or shipper's export declaration form includes critical details necessary for customs and trade compliance. Specifically, it contains the description of goods, the shipping weight, information about the parties involved in the transaction (such as the exporter and the recipient), and the destination of the goods. This information is essential for customs officials to determine the nature of the exports and for statistical purposes to track international trade. Each component plays a vital role: the description of goods helps identify the items being exported, the shipping weight is important for calculating tariffs, and knowing the parties and destination helps ensure that all parties comply with international trade laws. While invoice details, insurance coverage, and payment instructions may be important documents in the shipping process, they are not typically included in the formal declaration required for export compliance. Instead, they serve other functions in the transaction and logistics processes.
