For most containerized export cargo you need the commercial invoice, packing list, sales contract, the electronic power of attorney for customs filing, the shipper customs registration code and business license, plus the booking confirmation and bill of lading draft. Special cargo such as dangerous goods, chemicals and food requires additional documents such as MSDS/SDS, DG packaging certificate, or health / inspection certificates.
Can you clear my cargo if my company has no import/export qualification?
Yes. Shippers without an import/export license, or those who prefer not to file themselves, can use our buyer (agent) declaration service. We file the export customs declaration in a compliant way on your behalf with complete documentation, covering general trade and market-procurement export scenarios.
How is dangerous goods (DG) export clearance handled?
Dangerous goods sea export requires IMO-classified DG customs filing.

Wooden packaging and certain export commodities require fumigation to meet the quarantine requirements of the importing country. We arrange ISPM-15 treatment, issue the fumigation certificate and IPPC marking, and coordinate the treatment with customs/CIQ inspection so the cargo is cleared before loading.

Goods subject to statutory export commodity inspection, such as certain chemicals, food and mechanical products, must complete export commodity inspection filing and obtain the customs clearance form / electronic ledger.
