Service 04 · Documents

Paperwork,
right the first time.

Most export delays aren't caused by planes or ships — they're caused by documents. We prepare, review, and file what your shipment needs so it clears on both ends.

What we handle

Documents on a typical export file

EEI filing (AES)

Electronic Export Information filed as your authorized agent when required — generally for goods over $2,500 per Schedule B number, or any licensed shipment.

Commercial invoice review

Descriptions, values, Incoterms, and consignee details checked against what destination customs expects.

Packing list

Piece-level weights and dimensions that match our warehouse receipt.

Certificates of origin

Prepared for chamber certification or trade-agreement claims when your buyer needs them.

Restricted-party screening

Buyer and consignee checked against U.S. government screening lists before booking.

Classification help

Help finding Schedule B and export-control classifications; final determination remains the exporter's responsibility.

Who's responsible

Clear roles, fewer surprises

Under U.S. export rules, the exporter (U.S. principal party in interest) is responsible for accurate information about the goods. We file and prepare documents based on the information you provide, flag anything that looks inconsistent, and keep records as required.

You provide

  • · Accurate description, quantity, and value
  • · Schedule B / HTS numbers if known
  • · End user and end use
  • · Any export license or exception that applies

We provide

  • · Document review and consistency checks
  • · EEI filing and ITN confirmation
  • · Transport documents (air waybill / bill of lading)
  • · Copies of everything for your records

Common destination requirements

Things buyers often ask for

Spanish product descriptions on invoices

Consignee tax ID on every document

Legalized or chamber-certified origin certificates

Fumigation certificates for wood packaging

Requirements vary by country and change often. Your buyer's customs broker has the final word — we coordinate with them before departure.

Documentation FAQ

Can you file EEI for shipments you're not moving?

Yes, as a standalone service, with a signed power of attorney or written authorization from the exporter.

Do I need an export license?

Most commercial goods to Latin America don't, but some technology, chemicals, and dual-use items do, and some destinations or end users are restricted. We'll flag concerns; for formal determinations we recommend a trade-compliance attorney or consultant.

How long do you keep records?

Export records are kept for at least five years, as U.S. regulations require.
