ContainerDocs Export documents: a practical guide
Every export container travels with a set of documents that must match each other. These guides explain what each one is for, what it contains and which mistakes delay cargo release.

What an ocean bill of lading is, what it is used for, the main types (original, telex release, sea waybill) and the mistakes that delay container release.
Phytosanitary certificate for export
What a phytosanitary certificate is, who issues it, what it contains, what ePhyto is, and the mistakes that get fresh produce held at destination.
Certificate of origin
What a certificate of origin is, preferential vs. non-preferential origin, who issues it, and how it lets importers pay lower duties under a free trade agreement.
Packing list
What an export packing list is, what an ocean container packing list should include, and why it must match the commercial invoice and bill of lading.
