Airway Bill
Air waybills (AWBs) provide detailed information about shipments and allow them to be tracked when shipped by international air couriers. The bill has multiple copies so that each party involved in the shipment can document it. Bills of lading are typically in the form of air waybills (AWB) or air consignment notes (ACN). Air waybills (AWBs) serve as a receipt of goods by an airline (the carrier), as well as a contract of carriage. It is a legally enforceable agreement.
Commercial Invoice
A commercial invoice is a document that is used in international trade to provide detailed information about the goods being sold. It is typically prepared by the seller and sent to the buyer, along with the shipment of goods. The commercial invoice is used for customs purposes, as well as for payment and accounting. Customs authorities require the commercial invoice when importing goods into a country. It must include detailed information about the goods being imported, such as the quantity, value, and country of origin. It must also include the name and contact information of the seller and the buyer, as well as the terms of sale and the method of payment.
Packing List
A packing list for freight is a document that outlines the items that are being shipped in a particular freight shipment. This list can be used to ensure that all of the items in the shipment are accounted for and to provide information about the contents of the shipment to parties involved in the transportation process, such as customs officials. The packing list should include a description of each item, the quantity of each item, and the total weight and volume of the shipment. In some cases, it may also include information about the packaging used for each item, as well as the total value of the shipment.
Arrival Notice
The arrival notice is usually sent by the shipping company or freight forwarder to the consignee or their authorized agent. It serves as a notification to the consignee that they need to arrange for the clearance and delivery of their shipment from the port or airport. The arrival notice may also include other important details such as the amount of freight charges due, any customs or clearance fees that need to be paid, and any additional instructions or requirements for clearing the shipment through customs and taking delivery of the goods.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes one person or entity to act on behalf of another (the principal) in certain shipping or customs clearance-related matters. The POA is typically used by importers or exporters to grant authority to a freight forwarder, customs broker, or other shipping agent to act on their behalf in various shipping-related matters. The POA must be signed by the principal and may be either general or limited in scope. A general POA grants broad authority to the agent to act on behalf of the principal in all matters related to shipping and customs clearance.
