All shipments are different and specific documentation will depend on a multitude of differing factors such as product type, origin/destination, or even mode of transportation. However, some common examples are as below:

• Airway Bill / Bill of Lading – The carrier will issue a transportation document, to provide evidence of a carriage contract and to indicate ownership of the goods.
• Commercial Invoice – This document will provide all relevant details about the shipped goods, including values, quantities, descriptions and incoterms.
• Packing List – An inventory of the goods being shipped, detailing quantities, weights and dimensions.
• Certificate of Origin – This document will certify where the goods have been produced, thus qualifying them for any applicable preferential tariffs.
• Phytosanitary Certificate (for plants/plant products) – Provides specific details about the plants being shipped, confirming that they comply with the relevant health standards.
• Import/Export Licence – Some goods may require a license to be shipped. Typical examples are certain pharmaceuticals or chemicals.
• Dangerous Goods Certificate – When shipping dangerous goods, a certificate must be produced to ensure the goods adhere to the required packing specifications for safe transit.
