The Need for Documentation

The Need for Documentation

  • A document is a piece of written, printed, or electronic matter that provides information or evidence or that serves as an official record.
  • Documentation plays a very important role in effecting Import as well as Export transactions. 
  • The availability of right documents, the correctness of the information available in the document as well as the timeliness in submitting the documents and filing the necessary applications for the Customs Clearance determines the efficiency of the Customs Clearance process
  • Any delay in filing or non-availability of documents can delay the process and thereby importer/exporter stands not only to incur storage/demurrage/ detention/customs warehouse rent on the imported/exported cargo but also stand to lose business opportunities.
