1. Commercial Invoice: This is a document that describes the goods being shipped, their value, and the terms of sale.
2. Bill of Lading: This is a document that serves as a contract between the shipper and carrier for the transportation of goods. It includes details such as the origin and destination of the shipment, the carrier’s name, and the quantity and description of the goods.
3. Packing List: This is a document that lists the contents of each package being shipped.
4. Certificate of Origin: This is a document that certifies the country of origin of the goods.
5. Insurance Certificate: This is a document that provides proof of insurance coverage for the shipment.
6. Customs Declaration: This is a document that provides details of the shipment to customs officials, including the value of the goods and any duties or taxes owed.
