Documentation:
- Bill of Lading: We prepare and manage the Bill of Lading, which serves as a receipt for the vehicle and a contract of carriage between the shipper and carrier.
- Commercial Invoice: We create and review the commercial invoice, detailing the transaction, vehicle description, and terms of sale, which is essential for customs clearance.
- Certificate of Origin: We obtain and verify the Certificate of Origin, which certifies the vehicle’s country of manufacture, a requirement for many countries to establish tariff rates and eligibility.
