PIL-07Import-export, including the DRCBack-office and logistics

Trade and customs documentation

Commercial invoices, packing lists and shipment files checked before departure to prevent holds.

The problem

A single mismatch between invoice, packing list and weight is enough to hold goods and trigger extra costs.

Who it is for

Importing and exporting SMEs, freight forwarders, distributors and companies that ship goods regularly.

We handle document control and administrative preparation. We are not a licensed customs broker: declarations are filed or approved by authorised professionals in each country.

Deliverables

  • Collection of commercial invoices and packing lists
  • Checks on quantities, values, weights and references
  • Required document presence checks
  • Shipment file preparation
  • Missing document alerts
  • Held shipment tracker

Indicators tracked

  • Files complete on first pass
  • Document preparation time
  • Inconsistencies caught before shipping
  • Delays caused by documents
  • Admin cost per file

Reference frameworks

Customs rules of the country concerned, Incoterms® 2020, carrier document requirements and local customs procedures. These are working frameworks and do not imply certification.
