Editor's Notes

  1. The RFI is a standard business process used by customers to collect written information regarding the capabilities of various suppliers, which will better inform buying decisions.
  2. The vendor delivers the promised goods/services within the stipulated timeline. After receiving them, the purchaser examines the order and notifies the vendor of any issues with the received items.
  3. Packing List• It is a consolidated statement in a prescribed format detailinghow goods are packed, marked and numbered including weight and dimensions of each package.• It is useful for customs at the time of examination and warehouse keeper of buyer to maintain inventory record and to effect delivery.• It has many details common from invoice but it does not indicate unit rate value of goods.
  4. It satisfies the conditions relating to quality control and inspection as applicable to it and is certified export worthy. This certificate bears cross references of invoice or contract number Inspection Certificate• Inspection can be done by—– Inspection Agency appointed by the Government 
  5.  Pro forma, Latin for “as a matter of form” or “for the sake of form,” invoices often come into play with international transactions, especially for customs purposes on imports  A two wheeler customer might agree to the price of a bike on the pro forma invoice. The supplier will deliver the bike once it is ready and the customer will pay when the invoice is received. The final invoice amount will be the same or close to the amount on the pro forma invoice.
  6. 3 way matching-the invoice itself, the receiving document and the original purchase order
  7. Are Documents at Post-shipment stage are naturally those which are prepared after the shipment.• Post-shipment Documents• -These documents include the following:-– Mate Receipt– Bill of Lading– Airway Bill– Roadway/Railway Bill– Post Parcel/ Courier Receipt– Invoices (including consular invoice)– Certificate of Origin– Insurance Certificate or Policy– Bill of Exchange
  8. The bill of lading is usually the first common document used in international shipment and it is a contract between the owner of the goods and the carrier. It will state what goods are shipping, where they are going and where the shipment started. In addition, once the shipment is picked up, the bill of lading serves as a receipt issued by the carrier.
  9. A transport document for maritime shipment which serves as evidence of the contract of carriage and as a receipt for the goods, but is not a document of title. The sea waybill indicates the on board loading of the goods and can be used in cases where no ocean bill of lading and no other document of title is required. For receipt of the goods, presentation of the sea waybill by the consignee named therein is not required, which can speed up processing at the port of destination. See bill of lading; ocean bill of lading.
  10. is a document that accompanies goods shipped by an international air courier to provide detailed information about the shipment and allow it to be tracked. The bill has multiple copies so that each party involved in the shipment can document it. An air waybill (AWB), also known as an air consignment note, is a type of bill of lading
