The Three Ways We Categorize Documents

GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS

SHIPPING/COMMERCIAL DOCUMENTS

Shipping/Commercial documents are documents used for shipping products out internationally.

Commercial documents are written records of commercial transactions describing various aspects of those transactions. They may include orders, invoices, shipping documents, transport papers, and certificates of origin.

The legalization/authentication process for Commercial/Shipping Documents is highly variable based on the destination country. Some countries, including even some Hague Convention countries, require that any company shipping products overseas have to obtain a Certificate of Origin, a Chamber of Commerce stamp, and product-specific documentation (i.e., Commercial Invoices, Packing lists, etc.).

The following are common Shipping-type documents:

  • Commercial Invoices (CI)
  • Certificates of Origin (CO)
  • Bill of Lading
  • Packing Lists
  • Health Certificate
