What is prepared? What needs a question?
Record the status of eight document preparation checks. Group unreviewed, missing and uncertain items before discussing them with your agent.
Document preparation checklist
Choose the most accurate status for each item. “Prepared” is your own note, not review or approval by an agent or customs. Do not enter documents or personal information here.
Identify the issuer, reference and current invoice version. Tell the reviewer if it is still a draft.
Check that the record describes the actual packages. Separate carton count from the number of goods units.
Confirm with the transport provider which references are available and which have not yet been issued.
Distinguish seller, buyer, shipper and consignee. Do not assume the same party holds every role.
Use a clear description from the source records. Refer classification questions to the qualified responsible party.
Compare values together with their units and meaning. Net weight, gross weight and package count describe different things.
Ask your agent which additional documents apply to your goods and transaction. If none apply, record who confirmed that.
Agree who reviews, receives and answers questions. Confirm the handoff channel and the version to use.
No result yet. Review at least one item to begin.
Notes for your next conversation
This only groups your selections. This tool does not determine conditional documents, classification, permits, duties or approval.
Confirm details with the responsible parties even when every item is marked prepared.
Selections are neither saved nor sent. Reloading clears them. A changed selection invalidates the previous result until you organise it again.
Three ways to use your notes
Bring the source records
A prepared note does not replace the original document. Keep references that allow the reviewer to identify the actual records through the agreed channel.
Separate conditional items
Additional document requirements depend on the goods and transaction. Ask your agent what applies; do not treat a general list as exhaustive.
Assign the next action
Use the missing and needs-confirmation groups as a conversation agenda. Agree who will answer and preserve the answer with its context.
Start with a clear question.
