Export Documentation Checklist

Match invoices, packing lists, transport and preferential-trade documents before loading.

Short answer

Match invoices, packing lists, transport and preferential-trade documents before loading. Technical facts, the commercial scenario and current regulations should be assessed together.

01

Core commercial documents

The invoice and packing list should align on consignee, goods description, quantity, weight, delivery and payment terms.

02

Transport documents

A bill of lading, CMR or air waybill is prepared according to the mode. Alignment with the declaration speeds up exit formalities.

03

Origin and movement

A.TR, EUR.1, EUR-MED or certificate-of-origin choices depend on country, goods and agreement conditions.

04

Final check

Vehicle or container, package count, gross-net weight, seal and exit customs office must match the operating plan.

  • Consignee and delivery address
  • Goods and tariff code
  • Packages and weight
  • Transport equipment
