Documentation Auditing
Every export document is audited for completeness and consistency before it can stop cargo, with EEI/AES filing coordinated where authorized in writing — one thread for the paperwork, start to finish.
The problem
A commercial invoice that disagrees with the packing list, a declared value that doesn't reconcile, a missing certificate of origin — small documentation gaps become customs holds, penalties, and missed vessel cutoffs.
Inside the engagement
- Document completeness and consistency audit before handoff
- Commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate-of-origin alignment
- Shipper's Letter of Instruction preparation support
- EEI / AES filing coordination where authorized in writing under 15 CFR Part 30
- Shipment record organization aligned to five-year FTR retention obligations
What this looks like in practice
- A pre-handoff documentation check on every export
- A correction loop that resolves discrepancies before your broker or forwarder sees them
- An audit-ready shipment file at closeout
