  • Port of loading
  • Destination port or delivery location
  • Vehicle or cargo description
  • Number of vehicles or packages
  • Carrier information
  • Vessel or train information, where applicable

Names, addresses, cargo details and destination information should be checked before the document is finalized.

Certificate of Origin

A Certificate of Origin may be required by the destination country, customs authority, importer or financial institution. It identifies the country of origin of the exported vehicle or goods according to the applicable documentation process.

Whether it is required, and which format is accepted, depends on the destination country and transaction requirements.

Export Declaration

An export declaration is used to report export cargo to the relevant customs authority. It may contain:

  • Exporter information
  • Buyer or consignee information
  • Vehicle description
  • VIN or chassis number
  • Customs value
  • Quantity
  • Country of destination
  • Transport method
  • Port or loading location

The declaration should match the commercial invoice, vehicle records and shipping documents.

VIN and Vehicle Information

VIN and vehicle information helps maintain consistency across the document set. Depending on the vehicle and destination, the information may include:

  • VIN or chassis number
  • Brand and model
  • Model year
  • Vehicle category
  • Fuel type or powertrain
  • Engine information, where applicable
  • Battery information, where applicable
  • Vehicle dimensions and weight
  • Production or registration information, where available

For used vehicles, buyers may also need mileage, inspection or ownership-related records, depending on local requirements.

Inspection Report

An inspection report may record the vehicle’s condition and identification information before shipment. It may include:

  • Vehicle identification
  • Inspection date
  • Mileage record
  • Exterior and interior condition
  • Mechanical inspection notes
  • OBD information, where available
  • EV battery information, where applicable
