Document background
The Packing List And Commercial Invoice combination represents essential documentation required for international trade operations under Dutch jurisdiction. These documents are mandatory for all cross-border shipments and must comply with both Dutch national legislation and EU regulations. The Commercial Invoice serves as the primary document declaring the value of goods for customs purposes and supporting payment transactions, while the Packing List provides detailed information about the physical characteristics of the shipment. Together, they form a comprehensive documentation package that facilitates customs clearance, supports payment processing, enables efficient logistics handling, and ensures compliance with Dutch and EU trade regulations. These documents are particularly crucial for businesses operating through Dutch ports and logistics hubs, requiring careful attention to both local and EU-wide documentation requirements.
