pdfMANDATORY SURVEY OF NEW FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is conducting the BE‐13, Survey of New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, a
mandatory survey that collects data from U.S. companies in order to produce timely economic statistics. If you do not meet the
basic requirement for filing a BE‐13, you must file Form BE‐13 Claim for Exemption.
Basic Requirement – A U.S. entity is required to report if (1) it is acquired or established by a foreign person or entity resulting
in the creation of a foreign direct investment relationship or (2) it is an existing U.S. affiliate of a foreign parent and establishes
a new U.S. legal entity, expands its U.S. operations, or acquires a U.S. business enterprise. Foreign direct investment is defined
as the ownership or control, directly or indirectly, by one foreign person of 10 percent or more of the voting securities of an
incorporated U.S. business enterprise, or an equivalent interest of an unincorporated U.S. business enterprise, including a
branch.
Under the authority of the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act, persons subject to reporting
requirements for the BE‐13 are required to respond, whether or not they are contacted by BEA. This information is
CONFIDENTIAL and will be used only for statistical purposes.
