What happens if export documents are missing?
Missing export documents can cause delays, waiting times, additional costs or issues at borders and customs offices.
Missing export documents can lead to delays, queries, waiting times, additional costs or rejection at borders and customs offices. Complete documents are particularly important for transports to Central Asia, the Caucasus or the Middle East.
Commonly affected documents include the commercial invoice, packing list, CMR consignment note, proofs of origin, certificates or precise goods descriptions. Even small discrepancies between documents can trigger customs checks and significantly extend transit times.
GLOBALSPED supports companies in reviewing transport and export requirements so that missing or incorrect documents can be identified as early as possible before dispatch begins.
