1. Commercial Invoice Review
Checking that product description, HS code, quantity, unit price, total value, and Incoterms are correctly stated and consistent with all other shipping documents — mismatches here are the #1 cause of customs holds.
2. Packing List Verification
Confirming packaging details, weight, dimensions, and carton/package count match what's declared in the invoice and shipping bill.
3. Shipping Bill Accuracy Check
Reviewing the shipping bill filed on ICEGATE for correct HS code classification, FOB value, export scheme claims (if any), and consistency with invoice data.
4. Certificate of Origin Review
Ensuring the correct Certificate of Origin (preferential or non-preferential, depending on the destination and applicable trade agreement) is prepared correctly to claim any duty benefits at the buyer's end.
5. Bill of Lading / Airway Bill Check
Verifying consignor, consignee, port of loading/discharge, and cargo description are accurate — errors here can delay release at the destination port.
6. Letter of Credit (LC) Document Matching (if applicable)
If payment is via LC, checking that all documents strictly match LC terms — banks reject documents on the smallest discrepancy, delaying payment.
7. Destination-Country Compliance Flag
Flagging any additional documentation the destination country requires (fumigation certificate, health certificate, FDA/CE compliance, labeling rules) before the shipment leaves India.
8. Final Pre-Shipment Sign-Off
A consolidated go/no-go check confirming all documents are aligned and ready, reducing risk of customs delay, demurrage costs, or payment rejection.
Additional containers/shipments beyond the first are quoted separately.1. Commercial Invoice Review
