MASTERING EXPORT DOCUMENTATION: Export Invoice for Customs Compliance

MASTERING EXPORT DOCUMENTATION: EXPORT INVOICE

What is it?

A handbook to help you prepare export documentation that meet compliance requirements in most countries.

Why did we created this?

Each import and export declaration is creating  customs obligations on the business. This is a source of risk. Badly managed, customs risk, results in chaotic supply chains, delays, unhappy customers and increased costs. Meanwhile, a sound customs management brings on-time deliveries, efficiencies, duty optimisation and costs reductions.

We regularly receive questions about documentations so Alegrant Customs Compliance Series is designed to help traders strengthen internal compliance processes with ready-made procedures to build safe and efficient global operations.
