Prevent customs holds on US shipments over 2,500 USD with the ITN/AES number

Prevent customs holds on US shipments over 2,500 USD with the ITN/AES number
21 de September, 2026 1 min de lectura

When you create a label for a shipment leaving the US, you can paste the export number (ITN/AES) so customs doesn't hold the shipment. The field only appears when the declared value exceeds 2,500 USD and the carrier requires it: at 2,500 USD or less, you won't see it. You get this number from the US export filing (AESDirect): it starts with X followed by 14 digits. Envia marks it as required, sends it with the label, and prints it on the commercial invoice. Use it for catalog or one-off shipments when the contents exceed that threshold.

Benefits

  • You only paste the number when the shipment leaves the US and the declared value exceeds 2,500 USD.
  • Envia shows the field as required above 2,500 USD and prints it on the commercial invoice.
  • Export customs receives the reference, so the shipment is less likely to be held.

Note

Envia doesn't file the export with US customs or generate this number. If the origin isn't the United States or the value is 2,500 USD or less, the field doesn't appear.
