Stop messing around! Here are the things you need to know about the agency service for African board import documents

On the grand stage of the global timber trade, African boards have attracted much attention due to their unique materials and rich resources. However, in the process of importing African boards, the agency service for documents is like a crucial note in a complex musical composition, playing a vital role. Today, let's jointly explore the mysteries of the agency service for African board import documents.

African boards are transported from the distant African continent to China, involving many links, and documents are the core bond among them. For importers, the trade policies and regulations of African countries vary, and the international trade situation is constantly changing. Handling documents by themselves not only requires a lot of time and energy but also may lead to problems such as goods detention and fines due to misinterpretation of policies or operational errors. For example, Mr. Zhang once tried to handle the import documents by himself, but due to his unfamiliarity with the latest requirements for the certificate of origin of a certain African country, the goods were piled up at the port for several weeks, causing considerable economic losses. Professional document agencies, such as Zhongshitong, with their rich experience and in-depth understanding of the policies of various countries, can accurately and efficiently handle various types of documents, ensuring a smooth import process.

• Bill of Lading: As the proof of the ownership of the goods, the accuracy and timeliness of the bill of lading are crucial. When handling the bill of lading, Zhongshitong will communicate closely with the shipping company to ensure that the information on the bill of lading completely matches the actual situation of the goods, avoiding the situation where the pick-up of the goods is blocked due to incorrect information on the bill of lading.
• Commercial Invoice: It records in detail the key information such as the value, quantity, and specifications of the goods and is an important basis for customs to levy taxes. The document agency will assist the importer to accurately fill in the commercial invoice, which should not only truthfully reflect the value of the goods but also comply with the relevant tax policies, avoiding customs' doubts due to unreasonable price declaration.
• Certificate of Origin: The requirements for the certificate of origin vary greatly among African countries. Zhongshitong will guide the importer to prepare the corresponding supporting materials according to the regulations of different countries to ensure that the certificate of origin is true and valid, so that the importer can enjoy the corresponding tariff preferential policies.
