Lion Global are very strict and thorough with our customs clearance protocols to ensure our clients deliveries are always running at full capacity. This process means documents may have to be prepared in a particular way in order to comply with the requirements of the import or export Country.  

Every country imposes import duties and taxes on goods crossing into their borders which helps to generate income, protect the economy, environment, and the citizenry. The customs clearance paperwork has to be accurate and must be completed fully. 

The commercial invoice is exceptionally important as it lists the contact information for the shipper, the receiver, as well as the export date and airway bill number. There are a total of roughly ten documents which require completing in order for the transportations to take place and be delivered. 
 
These documents include: 
Purchase Order 
Commercial Invoice 
Bill of Lading 
Export Packing List 
Airway Bill 
Letter of Credit 
Dock/Warehouse Receipt 
Certificate of Origin 
Insurance Certificate 
Export License
