The export process is made more complex by the wide variety of documents that the
exporter needs to complete to ensure that the order reaches its destination quickly,
safely and without problems. These documents range include those required by the
Pakistan authorities (such as bills of entry, foreign exchange documents, export permits,
etc.), those required by the importer (such as the Performa and commercial invoices,
certificates of origin and health, and pre-shipment inspection documents), those
required for payment (such as the Pakistan state Bank forms, the letter of credit and the
bill of lading) and finally, those required for transportation (such as the bill of lading, the
airway bill or the freight transit order). Documentation requirements for export shipments
also vary widely according to the country of destination and the type of product being
shipped. Most exporters rely on an international freight forwarder to handle the export
documentation because of the multitude of documentary requirements involved in
physically exporting goods and it is strongly recommended that you also make use of a
freight forwarder to help you work your way through the maze of documentation. Click
