At our company, we specialize in providing expert guidance and assistance with documentation to ensure that our customers’ shipments are properly prepared and processed. Key documents typically required for international shipping include:

1. Bill of Lading (BOL) or Shipper’s Letter of Instruction (SLI): This document, issued by the carrier, serves as a contract between the shipper and the carrier. It outlines the terms and conditions of the shipment and also acts as a receipt for the goods being shipped.

2. Commercial Invoice: This document provides detailed information about the goods being shipped, including their quantity, value, and origin. It is essential for customs clearance purposes.

3. Packing List: This document offers a detailed list of the items being shipped, including the quantity and weight of each item. It is often used alongside commercial invoices to facilitate customs clearance.

4. Certificate of Origin: This document certifies the country of origin of the goods being shipped. It is often required by customs officials to determine applicable tariffs and duties.

Additionally, there may be other documentation requirements depending on the specific circumstances of the shipment. Our team of experts is well-versed in the documentation requirements for various countries and can provide expert guidance to ensure that our customers have all the necessary documentation for their shipments.
