Export Documentation

As you’re aware, if you are selling goods within the European Union (EU), most goods are in free circulation and can be freely moved from the UK to other EU countries without customs controls or charges. However, it is good practice to accompany shipments with a commercial invoice and a packing list if appropriate.

When trading internationally the correct paperwork is essential. Missing or inaccurate documents can increase risks, lead to delays, and cost your business money – or even lose a customer completely!

For example, many of our Clients require an export licence to export goods such as chemicals or military technology. Licence requirements may also depend on which country you are exporting to.

CED provide an Export Documentation Service to ensure that your goods have the correct documentation.
