Import documentation checklist
The core documents every import shipment needs to clear customs cleanly.
Clean import clearance depends on a complete, consistent document set. Mismatches between documents are the most common cause of delay.
The core set: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin, and any product-specific certificates (food safety, hazmat, inspection).
Values, weights, and descriptions must match across every document and align with the declared HS code. We assemble and cross-check the full set before goods move.
