Documentation

Commercial Invoice

Two copies of the freight invoices in English are required. No specific form is required, but all invoices must contain the names of the exporter and consignee, number and types of packages, marks and numbers on the packages, net and gross weights, CIF value, terms of sale, and a thorough description of the merchandise. Note that the importer will usually need a signed duplicate invoice to speed the release of the imported goods from customs. 

Certificate of Origin

Every importer or exporter has to prove the origin of the products buy preparing a Certificate of Origin. Two certified copies are required.

Packing List

A packing list is not legally required, but such lists are usually considered essential in accelerating the time required for customs clearance.

Bill of Lading (Air Waybill)

There are no regulations specifying content of a bill of lading. Importers should include clear marks of identification and the name and address of the consignee of the goods. Shipping marks on the goods must correspond exactly to numbers on bills of lading/invoices.

Pro-forma Invoice

Persons wishing to import goods are required to attach six copies of this invoice to the application for an import license and/or the intent to import. A pro-forma invoice may also be required when presenting an application to Norfolk Islands authorities to ship bonded goods through the country.

 

Labelling

Labels on most foods must show:

- product name (generic and trade);

- type of product;

- dates of manufacture;

- expiry dates;

- methods of preservation;

- ingredients in descending order of composition;

- weights or quantities;

- manufacturer's name;

- importer's name, address and phone number;
