Quick Tip #12

Small clerical errors can have big implications

Here are some facts to remember before you complete the documentation that goes with your next shipment:

  • Document requirements in the country of origin can be very different than the standards in the country of destination
  • 800 documents are used in international transportation
  • Some countries will accept copies of documentation, others demand originals

Make sure you do your homework before completing any documentation. Or better still ask us for help (call 905-882-4880, ext. 308 and ask for Debbie McGuire) and remove the risk of making a clerical error that could end up costing you time and money.
