Export documentation
When exporting, the right paperwork is crucial. Missing or inaccurate documents can increase risks, lead to delays and extra costs, or even prevent a deal from being completed.
You need to understand what paperwork is required. Even if you use a freight forwarder or an agent, it’s still up to you to make sure the right documentation is available.
This training explains the key documentation you should be aware of. It outlines what should be in your contracts and what paperwork you need for customs, transport and payment.
