The customs clearance documents for entrepot trade usually include commercial invoices, which need to indicate in detail the description, quantity, value, etc. of the goods. This is a basic document for customs clearance. Packing lists are also essential, which record the packing situation of the goods, such as the number of boxes, the gross weight and net weight of each package, etc. The bill of lading is a document of title for the goods, ensuring the legal and compliant flow of the goods. There is also the certificate of origin. If preferential tariffs are involved, this certificate is particularly crucial. In addition, some countries may require the provision of a declaration of origin. The trade contract should also be prepared, which clarifies the rights and obligations of both the buyer and the seller. If the goods are special, such as belonging to sensitive categories, relevant licenses or supporting documents may also be required. When preparing the documents, it is necessary to ensure that they are accurate and provided according to the requirements of the destination customs.

In addition to the common documents, sometimes a fumigation certificate may be required. If there are many wooden packages for the goods, the customs of the destination country will require this certificate to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases.
