Bill of Entry

The bill of entry is usually prepared by the C&F agent and submitted to the customs authority before the arrival of goods at the destination port.

The agent has to ensure that the correct description and value of goods are shown on the bill of entry and that goods come under the correct HS Classification (Harmonized Systems code). The HS Classification system is an internationally accepted system of classification and coding of goods. The customs duty calculation will be based on the HS code.

Bill of Lading

A signed bill of lading is issued by the ocean carrier as proof of receipt of cargo from the shipper, onboard the ship. It also gives title over the cargo, normally to the consignee. It shows the name and address of the consignor, consignee, and notify party (if applicable). The clearing agent has to ensure that the bill of lading accompanies other documents for clearance of the cargo.

Commercial Invoice

Another document that must be submitted by the c&f agent for the clearance of goods is the commercial invoice. A commercial invoice is issued by the seller or consignor and must accompany the goods. It gives the full name and address of the seller and the buyer. It will have the details of the goods that are being shipped, the quantity shipped of each item, their

Packing List

At a glance, a packing list may look very similar to the commercial invoice. But the similarity ends there. Its heading will show ‘packing list’, and it will have the complete details of the products – most importantly the serial number, description of units, pack and packaging, individual and overall dimensions of each package (if applicable), the weight of each unit and the total weight, and HS code.

The packing list gives a complete picture of what is contained in the shipment, their packing, and weight. All the parties involved in the carriage and clearance of the consignment such as the carrier, the freight forwarder, the clearing agent, port and customs authorities and the customer require the packing list.

It helps them make appropriate arrangements for handling the goods from loading and carriage through to unloading, transport, and stacking in the receiver’s storage space.
