Commercial Invoice
The commercial invoice is a legal
document between the supplier and the customer that clearly describes' the sold goods, and the amount due on the customer. The commercial invoice is one of the main documents used by customs in determining customs duties. Consular invoice • Describes the shipment of goods and shows information such as the consignor, consignee, and value of the shipment. Certified by the consular official of the foreign country, it is used by the country's customs officials to verify the value, quantity, and nature of the shipment. Certificate of Origin
• The certificate of origin is used to declare which country
the shipment originated in. This is very important for customs clearance purposes because every international location carries distinct rules and regulations based on where the goods originated. The Certificate of Origin is usually certified by an authorized semiofficial organization. The Certificate of Origin may be required even if the commercial invoice contains the same information. Shipper’s Declaration
• The shipper's declaration is a key document
required for sending dangerous goods. A correctly completed shipper's declaration contains vital information that helps prevent safety hazards. Packing list • Date. • Shipper and exporter contact information. • Consignee contact information. • The origin address of cargo. • The destination address of cargo. • Total number of packages within this shipment. • A detailed description of each package. • The volume and weight of each package. Inspection Certification
• Some purchasers and countries require an
Inspection Certificate. This certificate attests to the specification of the goods shipped. The inspection is usually performed by a third party. You will have to obtain an Inspection Certificate from an independent testing organization. Shipper’s Letter of Instructions • It is the shipping instructions to the forwarder or carrier from the shipper or exporter. Cargo insurance certificate • A document indicating the type and amount of insurance coverage in force on a particular shipment. Used to assure the consignee that insurance is provided to cover loss of or damage to the cargo while in transit. Air Waybill (AWB)
• An air waybill (AWB) is a document that accompanies
goods shipped by an international air courier to provide detailed information about the shipment and allow it to be tracked. The bill has multiple copies so that each party involved in the shipment can document it. An air waybill (AWB), also known as an air consignment note, is a type of bill of lading. However, an AWB serves a similar function to ocean bills of lading, but an AWB is issued in non-negotiable form, meaning there's less protection with an AWB versus bills of lading. Export License • It is a government document that authorizes the export of specific goods in specific quantities to a particular destination. This document may be required for most or all exports to some countries or for other countries only under special circumstances.
