TRADE DOCUMENTS
Top 10 Documents used in
Export and Import Procedures
Export and Import Documents lies at the heart of all international
trade transactions. In provides exporters and importers with an
accounting record; shipping and logistics companies with instructions
of what to do with freight information; and banks with instructions
and accounting tools for collecting payments.
Export documents are more complex than those used for domestic
sales due to the special characteristics of international trade:
geographical distance, different customs laws, different means
of transport, greater risks, etc. The documents required for each
shipment will depend on the conditions of sale (Incoterms) agreed
between seller and buyer.

Usually, international transactions are based on the buyer´s Purchase
Order. Issuance of a international purchase order is normally preceded
by an exchange of information between exporter and importer with
respect to the price, quality and quantity of products, etc.
The International Purchase Order may constitute a binding offer or
a binding acceptance, depending on the circumstances. Usually in
international transactions involving a large commercial buyer, the
purchase order is often the main contract form and constitutes the
first legally binding offer. In such cases, the seller´s signature of the
purchase order will constitute the acceptance of the transaction.

The International Commercial Invoice is an administrative document which
contains all the information about the international sale. The item, quantity,
price for the products/services sold, delivery and payment conditions, as
well as the taxes and other expenses that might be included in the sale, are
detailed in an International Commercial Invoice.
The importer, with the original of the International Commercial Invoice,
declares to the tax authority of his country the amount that it must pay, to
who it is going to pay and the agreed means of payment. For the exporter,
this document means a documentary evidence of the sales that it has made
in foreign markets.

The Packing List is a more detailed version of the commercial invoice
but without price information. It must include, inter alia, the following:
invoice number, quantity and description of the goods, weight of the
goods, number of packages, and shipping marks and numbers.
A copy of the Packing List is often attached to the shipment itself and
another copy is sent directly to the consignee to assist in checking the
shipment when received.

In an Irrevocable Letter of Credit L/C the importer´s bank agrees
to the exporter (called “the beneficiary”) that the exporter will get
paid if it can prove it has shipped the proper goods by providing the
corresponding documents required by the Letter of Credit. Exporters
like Letters of Credit because the advance assurance of payment
ensures the seller that it will not waste time preparing or shipping an
order to a buyer who ultimately refuse to accept or pay for the goods.
An Irrevocable Letter of Credit cannot be amended or cancelled
without the consent of all Parties.

The CMR transport document is an international consignment note used
by drivers, operators and forwarders alike that governs the responsibilities
and liabilities of the parties to a contract for the carriage of goods by
road internationally.
The carrier usually completes the form, but the sender - in other words the
exporter - is responsible for the accuracy of the information and must sign
the form when the goods are collected. The consignee will also sign the
form on delivery, which is essential for the carrier to be able to confirm the
delivery of the goods and to justify the payment for its services.

A Bill of Lading B/L is a document issued by the agent of a carrier to
a shipper, signed by the captain, agent, or owner of a vessel, furnishing
written evidence regarding receipt of the goods (cargo), the conditions on
which transportation is made (contract of carriage), and the engagement to
deliver goods at the prescribed port of destination to the lawful holder of
the bill of lading.
A Bill of Lading is, therefore, both a receipt for merchandise and a
contract to deliver it as freight. There are a number of different types of
bills of lading and a number of regulations that relate to them as a group
of documents.

An Air Waybill AWB is a non-negotiable transport document covering
transport of cargo from airport to airport.
The Air Waybill must name a consignee (who can be the buyer),
and it should not be required to be issued “to order” and/or “to be
endorsed” as it is not a title of property of the merchandise. Since it is
not negotiable, and it does not evidence title to the goods, in order to
maintain some control of goods not paid for by cash in advance, sellers
often consign air shipments to their sales agents, or freight forwarders’
agents in the buyer’s country.

A Multimodal Bill of Lading FBL is an international transport document
covering two or more modes of transport, such as shipping by road and by sea.
It is also used as a carriage contract and receipt that the goods have been
received. When it is issued “to the order”, the Multimodal Bill of Lading is
title of ownership of the goods and can therefore be negotiated.
Only authorized forwarders integrated into FIATA (International Federation
of Freight Forwarders Associations) can issued this document. It is addressed
to the exporter, Multimodal Transport Operator on destination country, and
the importer.

The Certificate of Origin certifies the country in which the goods originated
or in which the preponderance of manufacturing or value was added. It
also constitutes a declaration by the exporter. Virtually every country in the
world considers the origin of imported goods when determining what duty
will be assessed on the goods. Nevertheless the exporter´s own certification
on company letterhead will suffice.
In most countries, Chambers of Commerce are the key agent in the
delivery of certificates or origin. However, in some countries, this
privilege may also be extended to other entities such as ministries or
customs authorities.

The Inspection Certificate for pre shipment inspection is a document
issued by an authority indicating that goods have been inspected
(typically according to a set of industry, customer, government, or carrier
specifications) prior to shipment and the results of the inspection.
Inspection certificates are generally obtained from neutral testing
organizations (e.g., a government entity or independent service company
such as SGS o Bureau Veritas). In some cases the Inspection Certificate
can come from the manufacturer or shipper, but not from the forwarder
or logistics firm.

  • 5. The International Commercial Invoice is an administrative document which contains all the information about the international sale. The item, quantity, price for the products/services sold, delivery and payment conditions, as well as the taxes and other expenses that might be included in the sale, are detailed in an International Commercial Invoice. The importer, with the original of the International Commercial Invoice, declares to the tax authority of his country the amount that it must pay, to who it is going to pay and the agreed means of payment. For the exporter, this document means a documentary evidence of the sales that it has made in foreign markets.

  • 6. The Packing List is a more detailed version of the commercial invoice but without price information. It must include, inter alia, the following: invoice number, quantity and description of the goods, weight of the goods, number of packages, and shipping marks and numbers. A copy of the Packing List is often attached to the shipment itself and another copy is sent directly to the consignee to assist in checking the shipment when received.

  • 7. In an Irrevocable Letter of Credit L/C the importer´s bank agrees to the exporter (called “the beneficiary”) that the exporter will get paid if it can prove it has shipped the proper goods by providing the corresponding documents required by the Letter of Credit. Exporters like Letters of Credit because the advance assurance of payment ensures the seller that it will not waste time preparing or shipping an order to a buyer who ultimately refuse to accept or pay for the goods. An Irrevocable Letter of Credit cannot be amended or cancelled without the consent of all Parties.

  • 8. The CMR transport document is an international consignment note used by drivers, operators and forwarders alike that governs the responsibilities and liabilities of the parties to a contract for the carriage of goods by road internationally. The carrier usually completes the form, but the sender - in other words the exporter - is responsible for the accuracy of the information and must sign the form when the goods are collected. The consignee will also sign the form on delivery, which is essential for the carrier to be able to confirm the delivery of the goods and to justify the payment for its services.

  • 9. A Bill of Lading B/L is a document issued by the agent of a carrier to a shipper, signed by the captain, agent, or owner of a vessel, furnishing written evidence regarding receipt of the goods (cargo), the conditions on which transportation is made (contract of carriage), and the engagement to deliver goods at the prescribed port of destination to the lawful holder of the bill of lading. A Bill of Lading is, therefore, both a receipt for merchandise and a contract to deliver it as freight. There are a number of different types of bills of lading and a number of regulations that relate to them as a group of documents.

  • 10. An Air Waybill AWB is a non-negotiable transport document covering transport of cargo from airport to airport. The Air Waybill must name a consignee (who can be the buyer), and it should not be required to be issued “to order” and/or “to be endorsed” as it is not a title of property of the merchandise. Since it is not negotiable, and it does not evidence title to the goods, in order to maintain some control of goods not paid for by cash in advance, sellers often consign air shipments to their sales agents, or freight forwarders’ agents in the buyer’s country.

  • 11. A Multimodal Bill of Lading FBL is an international transport document covering two or more modes of transport, such as shipping by road and by sea. It is also used as a carriage contract and receipt that the goods have been received. When it is issued “to the order”, the Multimodal Bill of Lading is title of ownership of the goods and can therefore be negotiated. Only authorized forwarders integrated into FIATA (International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations) can issued this document. It is addressed to the exporter, Multimodal Transport Operator on destination country, and the importer.

  • 12. The Certificate of Origin certifies the country in which the goods originated or in which the preponderance of manufacturing or value was added. It also constitutes a declaration by the exporter. Virtually every country in the world considers the origin of imported goods when determining what duty will be assessed on the goods. Nevertheless the exporter´s own certification on company letterhead will suffice. In most countries, Chambers of Commerce are the key agent in the delivery of certificates or origin. However, in some countries, this privilege may also be extended to other entities such as ministries or customs authorities.

  • 13. The Inspection Certificate for pre shipment inspection is a document issued by an authority indicating that goods have been inspected (typically according to a set of industry, customer, government, or carrier specifications) prior to shipment and the results of the inspection. Inspection certificates are generally obtained from neutral testing organizations (e.g., a government entity or independent service company such as SGS o Bureau Veritas). In some cases the Inspection Certificate can come from the manufacturer or shipper, but not from the forwarder or logistics firm.
