Trade Documentation Requirements

Trade Documentation Requirements

Every export and every import require certain documents to be provided for customs clearance. Some cases require minimal documentation, but many others entail a multitude of forms to be submitted. This webinar provides an overview to the basic to the more unusual documents that may be required for customs clearance of exports and imports.

Why this matters to your business

Each document serves a particular function, whether for the protection of the seller, the buyer, or both. Some documents can only be obtained by the seller, or through the information provided by the seller. Knowing what is expected can help not only facilitate the sale, but also minimize the risk of something going wrong for you, or for the transaction itself.

  • More frequent customs clearance delays, or even rejections
