DOCUMENTATION

What you'll need for international shipments

Every international shipment requires documentation — some standard, some cargo-specific, some country-specific. The list below covers what’s typically needed. Specific requirements vary by destination and commodity; we’ll work through the details for your shipment.

Always required

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading (sea) or Air Waybill (air)

Usually required

  • Certificate of Origin
  • Insurance Certificate (if shipping CIF or CIP)
  • Import License (depending on destination country)

Cargo-specific

  • Agricultural products: Phytosanitary Certificate, USDA APHIS forms
  • Food products: Health Certificate, FDA prior notice
  • Dairy and reefer: Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI), temperature log requirements
  • Hazardous goods: Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Dangerous Goods Declaration
  • Restricted commodities: Export License, end-user certification

Country-specific

  • Destination customs may require consular legalization, specific certifications, or other documents. Requirements change frequently. We'll tell you exactly what's required for your destination before you ship.

Not sure what you need? Documentation requirements vary by country and commodity, and they change frequently. We coordinate documentation for every shipment we handle and work with you and our partners to identify what’s needed for your specific route — contact us and we’ll figure it out together.
