Commercial Invoice: This details the name, quantity, unit price, and total value of the goods and serves as an important basis for customs duties.
Packing List: This describes the specific contents of each box, including weight and volume, helping customs understand the packaging and loading of the goods.

Other Relevant Documents:
Certificate of Origin: This certifies the origin of the goods and helps secure tariff preferences or comply with specific trade agreements.
