| Document or record | Typical source | What must align |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial invoice | Exporter or seller | Legal names, addresses, product description, quantity, value, currency, Incoterm and agreed payment information. |
| Packing list | Exporter or seller | SKU quantity, pack count, carton count, net and gross weight, dimensions and marks. |
| Bill of lading or air waybill | Carrier or forwarder | Shipper, consignee, notify party, port or airport, package count and cargo description. |
| Certificate of origin | Authorized issuing route where requested | Origin statement, exporter, consignee and invoice references required by the destination or trade terms. |
| Test report or compliance file | Qualified laboratory and responsible supplier or buyer | Correct product, material, market standard, report validity and model coverage. |
| Inspection report | Buyer, supplier QC or third-party inspector | PO, SKU, quantity, sampling plan, defect findings, packaging and shipment release decision. |
| Market-specific declarations | Responsible economic operator or appointed specialist | Destination rules, food-contact claims, importer details and product traceability. |
This guide describes common workflow only. The buyer and its broker should confirm current legal and customs requirements for the destination market.
Final reconciliation
Match product, cartons and documents before release.
Use one final SKU list to reconcile the purchase order, commercial invoice, packing list, carton labels and inspection report. Product descriptions should be understandable and consistent; quantities and carton counts should match the packed goods.
Confirm consignee and notify-party details before the transport document is issued. Late corrections can delay document release or create amendment costs. If wooden packaging, special certificates or destination declarations are required, include them in the pre-shipment checklist instead of discovering them at loading.
Connect the document file with ceramic export packaging, quality inspection, and the logo mug export case.
