Bags, cartons or lined cartons are used depending on the product. Food needs clean, dry packing that avoids contamination; labels may need lot and ingredient details.
Documents and certifications
A typical set includes the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and a certificate of origin. If a preference scheme applies you may need origin evidence such as REX or the form the destination specifies.
Plant-based goods may need a phytosanitary certificate, and foods may need a health certificate or a destination import notice. Check prohibited plant or animal materials before you ship.
