A correctly completed commercial invoice is essential for smooth customs clearance. Customs authorities need this information to determine taxes and import duties. By filling out the commercial invoice accurately, you avoid delays.

Pro-forma invoice

A proforma invoice, although not an official invoice, is crucial for international trade. It allows the buyer to complete necessary customs formalities, such as customs clearance documents, in advance.

EUR.1 Certificate for Customs Duties.

The EUR.1 certificate can provide reduction or remission of customs duties. This preferential trade document is subject to customs legislation and specific protocols with certain countries or groups.

Packing List for Clear Shipments

A packing list indicates the quantity and type of goods contained in a shipment. Usually, the packing list accompanies the shipment. The packing list may also include measurements, weights, etc.

Certificate of Origin:Authentic Documentation

The Certificate of Origin (CoO) states the origin of goods delivered. It is issued by authorized printers and validated by the Chamber of Commerce(CoC).
