Compliance Made Simple for U.S. Investors with Foreign Affiliates
What Is the BE-10?
The BE-10 Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad is a mandatory filing required every five years by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). If you are a U.S. person or entity with 10% or more ownership in a foreign business during the 2024 fiscal year, you may be required to file—even if the BEA hasn’t contacted you.
