The details of goods for export by proxy generally include the following key elements. First, basic information: clearly state the company names, addresses, and contact details of both the consignor and consignee. For goods information, the product name must be accurate and standardized, complying with customs regulations to avoid vague descriptions. The quantity should specify the unit, such as pieces or kilograms. Detailed specifications and models are required to accurately distinguish product characteristics. Manufacturer information is usually also needed to trace the origin of the goods. Additionally, include the unit price, total price, and currency, as these relate to financial settlements. Packaging details, such as carton or wooden crate packaging, should be stated, as they affect transportation and storage. Trade terms like FOB or CIF clarify the division of responsibilities between parties. It is best to organize the details in table format with clear column headings for easy readability.
Such a complete and accurate document ensures smooth export operations.
