Typically a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin and any product-specific certificates your country requires. We prepare the shipping documents and advise on the local requirements for your destination.

FCL is a container booked for your cargo alone. LCL is space inside a container shared with other shippers, rated on volume or weight, whichever is greater.
