Import Documents Checklist
Confirm Shipment Documents Before Dispatch
For imported electric forklifts and warehouse equipment, document details should be checked before shipment so quotation, clearance and after-sales records stay consistent.
Document Scope
What to Confirm Before Shipment
The exact requirement depends on destination country, product configuration, trade term and the buyer's local customs broker.
PI / order confirmationModel, configuration, quantity, unit price, trade term, payment term, delivery time, warranty and support terms before payment.
Commercial invoiceBuyer and seller details, product description, model, quantity, price, currency, trade term and shipment reference.
Packing listPackage quantity, gross weight, net weight, volume, marks and product details that match the shipment.
Bill of lading / waybillConsignee, notify party, port, shipment route, container or waybill information according to the agreed transport mode.
Catalog, nameplate and labelsProduct catalog page, model, rated capacity, charger details, serial or nameplate information and destination label requirements.
Available compliance or origin documentsCertificate of origin, battery-related documents or other available documents should be discussed early if the local broker asks for them.
Short Answer
LITELON can prepare export-side documents based on the confirmed order and shipment term. The buyer should confirm destination-side customs rules, duties, taxes, broker requirements and inland delivery with a local importer, agent or forwarder.
Check Shipping Cost GuideTiming
Do Not Wait Until the Machine Arrives
Document issues are easier to fix before payment, production completion or shipment release.
Before PI / payment
Confirm product description, model, HS-code discussion with your local broker if needed, charger standard, labels and required documents.
Before shipment
Check draft invoice, packing list, packing photos, nameplate, shipment marks and whether the final document names match buyer records.
After dispatch
Keep payment record, PI, invoice, packing list, shipping document copy and support contact details for clearance and after-sales records.
Responsibility Boundary
Separate Export Documents from Local Clearance
This protects both sides when local customs requests, duty calculation, low-value declarations or broker questions appear.
