Necessary Documentation for Boarding and Receiving

To ensure smooth international shipping and receiving, having the correct documentation is essential. Key documents include:

Commercial Invoice

  • This serves as a legal document between the seller and the buyer, outlining the sale transaction and providing details about the goods, pricing, and terms of sale.

Packing List

  • This document provides detailed information on the contents of the shipment, including quantity, weight, and packaging details, ensuring accurate and efficient customs clearance.

Bill of Lading (B/L)

  • A critical legal document issued by the carrier to the shipper, it outlines the terms of transport and serves as a receipt for the goods once they are loaded onto the vessel.

Quality and Quantity Certificate

  • This verifies that the shipped goods meet the agreed-upon quality standards and quantity specifications, ensuring compliance and transparency during the trade process.

These documents are crucial for smooth customs processing, risk management, and timely delivery of your goods.
