EXPORT/IMPORT PROCEDURES

EXPORT

DEFINATIONAn export of a good occurs when there is a change

of ownership from a resident to a non-resident; this does not necessarily imply that the good in question physically crosses the frontier. However, in specific cases national accounts impute changes of ownership even though in legal terms no change of ownership takes place (e.g. cross border financial leasing, cross border deliveries between affiliates of the same enterprise, goods crossing the border for significant processing to order or repair). Also smuggled goods must be included in the export measurement.

PROCEDURE exporter has to submit ‘shipping bill’ for

export by sea or air and ‘bill of export’ for export by road.

Relevant documents i.e. copies of packing list, invoices, export contract, letter of credit etc. are also to be submitted.

The risk of loss or of damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time the goods have been delivered on board the vessel, is transferred from the seller to the buyer when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment.
