Export documents
Which export documents are essential?
Air freight has to be quick – but what use is the best connection between two places if there are avoidable delays at departure or arrival because of the wrong or missing papers? EU Deliveries- For deliveries within the EU an invoice, packing note or delivery note with the following data is sufficient: sender, recipient, content, delivery conditions, weight and number of parcels.
Documents that are generally necessary:
Forwarding advice / Dispatch permit- Sender, recipient (phone number and contact person), content, number of parcels, weight, delivery conditions and if necessary dispatch regulations.
Invoice - Proforma or trade invoice with the value of the listed goods, also in the case of goods being delivered for free or on guarantee. However, a proforma invoice must specify the value which corresponds to the real trade value.
Documents that may be necessary:
Copy of letter of credit - If you are buying with a “letter of credit” in order to be able to issue the transport documents in accordance with the conditions.
Export declaration / Unit paper (EU) - for the customs clearance for goods in accordance with the legal regulations. Provided on request.
- if necessary (our customs service will gladly advise you if this is necessary)
Other documents - such as vet’s certificates, dangerous goods declarations etc. – contact us we will be glad to help you!
