Common Export Document Questions
What documents are needed for trial shipments or samples?
Requirements can vary. Often a pro-forma invoice and a letter stating the goods are samples for no commercial value are needed. Check with your freight forwarder and destination customs.
How do I apply for a phytosanitary certificate?
Typically, you apply through your national plant protection organization (NPPO). This involves an inspection of the goods. The process and forms vary by country.

A COO declares the country where goods originated. RoO are criteria to determine if a product qualifies for preferential treatment under a trade agreement. A product can have a COO but not meet specific RoO.
