Understanding shipping documents is crucial for smooth international trade, and at SLA Logistics, we ensure you’re well-informed. The Bill of Lading (BOL) serves as both a contract between the shipper and carrier and a receipt for goods. The packing list details the contents of the shipment, which is essential for customs clearance and verification. The Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensures that products meet quality and safety standards, particularly for regulated items like pharmaceuticals. At SLA Logistics, we help businesses navigate these documents, ensuring compliance and reducing delays in the shipping process.
