When you trade across borders, there are rules and regulations you have to follow.

Here are some of the rules that you should take into consideration before starting to export or import from any country:

●       First, you must provide the necessary licenses, also you have to know that products and services have different types of permits so you need to ensure the required licenses for your goods to obtain the required approvals.

●      Commitment to Packaging requirements and weather conditions so you don’t get any damages or theft, also you must be aware of other important things e.g. transport method, storage requirements, commodity, and shipping type (LCL, FCL..).

●      Be aware of waybills and shipping routes, sometimes the goods are shipped from one country to another before they reach the country to which the shipment is intended, i.e. the shipment is not delivered directly, so the requirements of the transit port must be known so as not to have problems or delays.

●      Find out the reasons for the fines you may get so you can avoid them.

●      Be aware of prohibited goods before importing to prevent losses.

So, make sure you do your research and find out the rules and regulations governing your international trade, and follow them.
