  • Bills of Lading you may need an inland bill of lading to move your goods to a port or airport.

The procedure for import differs from country to country depending upon the import policy, statutory requirements and customs policies of different countries. In almost all countries of the world import trade is controlled by the government. The objectives of these controls are proper use of foreign exchange restrictions, protection of indigenous industries etc. The imports of goods have to follow a procedure. This procedure involves a number of steps.

  • Purchase order Purchase order instructions are vitally important. It may be that the functions of a purchase order can be summarised as:
    • Instruction
    • communication
    • publication (formalising contract negotiation)
    • protection
  • Communication Communication must take account of language and culture and should accurately reflect actions that have gone before.
  • Transport of goods If planned and organised properly during the placing of the order and transportation stages, the arrival of goods should run smoothly.
  • The Import declaration Royal innovative takes care of all documents needed in the import process.

  • Instruction The order itself is an instruction to supply, and the clarity of what the importer demands should be paramount.
  • Publication The written order publishes what is deemed by the issuer to be the contract to supply, formalising the contractual situation. The terms and conditions coupled with other elements related to that particular negotiation must be included.
  • Customs clearing agent Royal Innovative deals with highly experienced import clearing agent to complete and enter the import declaration to Customs and liaise on the company’s behalf with the carriers.
  • Paying Customs duty and VAT Customs duties and VAT must be paid or accounted for before goods can be released from the port/airport of arrival.
