Every export document explained.

The core set

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Shipping bill (filed on ICEGATE)
  • Bill of lading or airway bill
  • Certificate of origin (preferential if FTA applies)

Match everything

Under a Letter of Credit, every document must match exactly. Treat the LC as your master checklist.

After shipping

Generate your e-BRC once payment is realised — it's needed for incentives and compliance.

Keep clean records

Good record-keeping speeds refunds, audits and your next shipment.

Never miss a document again.
