International transport and distribution

Labelling and documents for international transport


The Single Administrative Document (SAD or customs form C88) is the customs document for export, import and goods transiting the European Union (EU).


The Standard Shipping Note (SSN) to help port authorities process your consignments.


If the goods are dangerous, as defined by the UN Hazard code, they must be accompanied by a dangerous goods declaration - the Dangerous Goods Note.

If using a freight forwarder or carrier, you should complete an Export Cargo Shipping Instruction (ECSI).


Shipping to EU and non-EU countries

There are a number of systems in use across Europe designed to help you transport your goods. These include the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS) and the TIR transit procedure.


Labelling

You will need to use correct labelling and shipping marks to ensure smooth processing of your goods. The consignment itself must be labelled with its destination. If your goods are being consolidated, ensure that your own consignment is individually labelled, as it will be shipped along with other business' goods.


Tax and VAT

Local taxes and tariffs may have to be paid when transporting your goods internationally.


You should also assess your VAT liability. VAT relief can sometimes be claimed when goods move between EU member states and to countries outside of the European Community.


Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status

If you trade within the EU as part of an international supply chain and are actively involved in customs operations, you can apply for AEO status. The AEO certificate is an internationally recognised quality mark. It tells people that your customs controls and procedures are efficient and compliant, and that you can be considered a secure and reliable trading partner in the supply chain.
