Woo, completed my export training Yesterday as I sometimes need to ship things back to our regional warehouse elsewhere in the EU. Previously, I needed to complete the shipping information for our courier which consisted of;
- Delivery address
- Size of package
- Hazardous/Non-hazardous goods declaration
Plus I needed to notify our trade compliance team for Intrastat declaration though the UK rarely goes over the £250,000 limit.
I now have a 'no deal' shipping checklist;
❑Title: Commercial/Customs Invoice
❑Language required by importing country
❑Seller/Shipper’s name, address, ship-from country
❑Purchaser/Importer of Record name & address
❑Intermediate consignees (ideally forwarder location)
❑Ultimate consignee & Delivery address
❑Clearing agent’s name & phone #
❑Contact name & phone #
❑Date of invoice
❑Invoice number
❑PO or reference number
For each item on the invoice:
❑Unit Quantity, Value & Currency
❑Part Number & Description of items
❑HS code of items
❑Weight of items (gross &/or net may be required)
❑Country of origin (manufacturing country)
❑Applicable preferential origin status of goods
❑Use of trademark/licensing requirements
❑INCO term + place + port + address
❑Payment term (i.e. 30 days net or LC)
❑Freight cost
❑Subtotal & currency
❑Total cost including freight
❑Any preferential origin item status & shipment declaration requirements
❑Special marks (i.e. edible, temporary/permanent import, import license number, unique identifier/serial #)
❑Applicable export controls numbers/requirements
❑Mode of transport: air/sea/road (optional)
❑Port of entry into importing country (optional)
❑Bank details of exporter (optional)
❑Packing details (dimensions, capacity, weight, type of packaging) or refer to separate packing list

Marvelous!

Just to add as I have been looking through the list, there are dual use technologies too for extra fun!
