- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Ocean bill of lading
- EORI number where required
- Commodity / tariff classification
- Import licences or certificates for controlled goods
- AES/EEI and ITN where required for the U.S. export
Import VAT and any applicable customs duty are normally assessed at import, while regulated products may require additional approvals or inspections.
