What documents are required for international shipping?

To ensure a smooth international shipping process, certain documents are typically needed. Depending on the destination country and type of shipment, common requirements include a commercial invoice detailing the goods being shipped, a bill of lading or air waybill for transportation purposes, and a packing list specifying the contents and quantities of the shipment. Additionally, some countries may require specific documents like a certificate of origin or import/export licenses. It is important to research and meet the specific requirements of the destination country, as non-compliance may lead to delays or refusal of the shipment.
