Trade compliance

Import/export must be verified as a route, not a single permit

The correct answer depends on the specific origin, destination, product, form, value, date and purpose.

Buyer and seller perspectives

1

Seller / exporter

Can it legally export this product, in this form and value, to this destination, and prove origin/title?

2

Buyer / importer

Can it legally import, declare, pay duties/tax, take title and receive/custody the asset?
