Customs Documentation.

The paperwork that keeps cargo moving — and what tends to break it. Documents reviewed for consistency before they reach the broker mean fewer holds and faster release.

Core documents

  • Commercial invoice.
  • Packing list.
  • Bill of lading / air waybill.
  • Certificate of origin, where required.

Conditional

  • MSDS / dangerous goods declaration.
  • Import and export licenses.
  • FDA, USDA, CPSC, FCC filings (US).

Validation

  • HTS / HS classification consistent with the cargo description.
  • Declared value reconciles across all documents.
  • Consignee and notify party correct on the B/L.
