Commercial invoice: Three copies of the commercial invoice are required. Two copies of the commercial invoice must accompany air cargo and parcel port shipment; additional copies should be sent to the consignee. The invoice must contain full particulars of the shipment, including names of buyer, and seller, quantities, weight, value of the goods per unit and all necessary charges to establish CIF value, shipping terms, shipping marks, country of origin unless a separate certificate of origin is required, and a statement that the goods are in accordance with the pro forma invoice.
Certificate of origin: Three copies, when required by the letter of credit, or the importer, should be provided on a general form sold by commercial printers. The certificate of origin must be certified by a recognized chamber of commerce;
Bill of lading: Three copies are required. A bill of lading customarily shows the name of the shipper, the name and address of the consignee, port of destination, description of goods, the listing of the freight and other charges, the number of bills of lading in the full set, and the date and the signature of the carrier’s official acknowledging receipt on board of the goods for shipment. The information should correspond with that shown on the invoices and the packages;
Packing list: Although not required, a packing list generally expedites clearance of shipment through customs, particularly when the shipment consists of items of different customs classifications or numerous small items.
