Most commercial shipping plans begin with a commercial invoice and packing list, then add transport and product documents for the chosen route. The final list depends on the goods, destination and importer arrangement.
Commercial invoice
The invoice identifies the seller, buyer, goods, quantities, value and currency. Include a useful product description and the agreed transaction details. Ask the broker what additional fields are needed for the receiving market.
Packing list
The packing list connects the goods to physical cartons or pallets. Record piece counts, gross and net weights where relevant, dimensions and shipment references. This helps origin receiving, freight calculation and destination reconciliation.
Transport and product records
The transport provider issues the applicable shipping document for the booked mode. Product certificates, permits, test reports or origin evidence may also be required. Do not assume another product’s document set will cover your shipment.
A final consistency check
Compare company names, addresses, descriptions, quantities and values across the documents before dispatch. Keep a complete record with the booking reference. For FBA, maintain the warehouse shipment plan and carton-label references separately from customs documentation.
Before you book
Use this guide to prepare your shipment information and compare shipping scopes. Current service availability, cargo acceptance and destination requirements must be checked for the actual booking. Send SUJIE Logistics the product description, supplier city, receiving postcode and any final packing data for a practical discussion.
