Transportation and Trade Documentation

 
 

The smooth flow of international commerce today depends as much on sharing of information and flawless documentation as it does on actual transportation services. Carriers of all modes, ports, warehouses and other participants in door-to-door transportation require a variety of shipping documents, most of which need to be delivered electronically to avoid shipping delays. Many nations, including the U.S., control what is exported from their country to prevent certain technologies and other goods from falling into the hands of potential enemies and terrorists. All nations control imports into their country with customs regulations and usually duties. Security documentation has become an additional element to the shipping process. Banks and other financial institutions depend on specific documents to authorize payments and transfers of title for the goods moved.

Typical documentation services would include the following, but many others are possible:

  • Preparing and processing export declarations, bills of lading and other export documentation

  • Preparing and/or sending advanced notices to banks, shippers, and consignees

  • Clearing shipments in accordance with United States Government export regulations
