- Commercial Invoice - This document is required for exporting and includes all the terms of sale. The commercial invoice must conform exactly to letters of credit, including misspellings and foreign languages. Product descriptions, prices, weights, and other information must follow requirements specified by the target country.
- Bill of Lading - Shipping companies or freight forwarders usually provide a bill of lading.
- Insurance Certificates - Exporters need these certificates if the terms of sale include cost, insurance, and freight (CIF).
- Certificates of Origin - These are official documents that many Arab and Latin American countries require. Consulates generally sell the forms, which are then filled out in the language stipulated. For an additional fee, the consul stamps them to make them legal documents.
- Certificates of Origin - Although these usually appear on the invoice, many countries require a separate certificate of origin.
- Certificates of inspection - These consist of either an affidavit or a certificate from an official government agency or independent inspection company.
- Dock Receipts - These are necessary when the exporter is not directly responsible for transporting goods to a foreign destination or otherwise needs to prove that the goods have been delivered to a port for further disposition by the importer.
- Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) - Exporters may be required to file a SED when taking commercial goods out of the United States.
