The single largest cause of export shipment holds is documentation error. Most rejections are avoidable — the framework is public, but implementation is fragmented across export authorities, freight forwarders, importers and destination-market border agencies.
The universal export document set
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading / airway bill, health / veterinary export certificate, origin certificate. Adjust and add for destination-market specifics.
US import specifics
FDA Prior Notice submitted 4 hours (truck) to 8 hours (ocean) before arrival, FDA seafood HACCP compliance, establishment registration, DUNS number, importer of record.
EU import specifics
Exporter must be on the EU establishment list, TRACES entry submitted before arrival, IUU catch certificate (or aquaculture equivalent), sanitary certificate on EU model, border-inspection post nomination.
Managing documentation errors
A single-source master data file — species names, establishment numbers, importer references — reduces mismatch errors by 60–80%. Every document generated for export should reference the master file.
