Documents and classification
Prepare transaction, identity, configuration, shipping dimensions and weight. Have declaration professionals confirm classification and documents; do not infer duty rates from category names.
Destination-specific conformity
Import requirements may vary by country, category and use. Confirm needed evidence with the importer and competent bodies instead of claiming universal certification.
Transport terms and responsibilities
FOB/CIF apply to sea and inland-waterway transport. Assess suitable terms for road or multimodal delivery, defining place, risk, insurance, clearance and taxes.
Timing and costs
Confirm loading start point, route and clearance arrangements. Record estimates and exception handling; verify requirements for the actual transaction.
This is a general purchasing and evidence checklist. Confirm actual condition, transaction terms and import/export requirements for the case.
