The following are the main documents usually required for export agency:
First is the commercial invoice. It is a list of the shipping prices issued by the exporter to the importer. It is the basis for bookkeeping by both the buyer and the seller, and also the general description for customs declaration and tax payment for imports and exports. The information such as the description of the goods, quantity, unit price, and total price should be filled in accurately.
The packing list is used to describe the details of the goods packaging, such as the form of packaging, quantity, gross weight, and net weight, so that the importer and the customs can understand the situation of the goods packaging.
The bill of lading, as a receipt of the goods, proof of the transportation contract, and document of title, is of great importance. It is necessary to ensure that the information on the bill of lading is consistent with that on other documents, especially the consignee, the notify party, and the description of the goods.
There is also the certificate of origin, which proves that the goods originate from a specific country or region and can enjoy the corresponding tariff preferences. The real and accurate origin information should be provided as required. In addition, an insurance policy may also be required, etc., depending on the trade terms specifically. When preparing the documents, it is necessary to ensure that the information on each document is consistent, meets the requirements of the trade contract and the letter of credit (if any), and is prepared and submitted in a timely and accurate manner.
