Shipping between Qatar and Malaysia requires meticulous documentation, compliance with customs regulations, and precise coordination to ensure efficient transportation and clearance. Yes2Qatar, a leading freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export documentation is correctly processed to avoid delays. Below is a detailed guide to the required documentation for shipping between these two countries.

Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) Air Waybill (Air Freight): These documents serve as proof of shipment, detailing cargo specifications, shipper and consignee details, and the transport method. Yes2Qatar ensures all shipping documentation is completed correctly to avoid disruptions.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If required, this reference helps customs authorities track shipments and ensures smooth clearance at ports and airports.

For goods exported from Qatar, the following documents must be prepared

Commercial Invoice: A document detailing product descriptions, HS codes, unit pricing, total shipment value, and applicable currency. Yes2Qatar ensures invoices meet Qatars customs documentation regulations.

Packing List: This document provides a breakdown of shipment details, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, which assists customs officials in processing goods efficiently.

Certificate of Origin (CoO): This document certifies the country of manufacture and must be issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce. Yes2Qatar assists in obtaining and legalizing this certificate when required.

Export Declaration (Qatar): A required submission to Qatari customs before the shipment departs. Yes2Qatar ensures that all necessary declarations are completed to prevent clearance delays.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Some regulated products, such as pharmaceuticals, electrical appliances, and industrial equipment, may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export regulations. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this document is necessary.

Yes2Qatar does not handle customs clearance in Malaysia, so importers must ensure they have the necessary documentation for Malaysian customs authorities.

Import License (If Required): Certain regulated products, including chemicals, food products, and pharmaceuticals, require an import license from Malaysian authorities before shipment.

Customs Import Declaration: This document must be submitted to the Royal Malaysian Customs Department for customs clearance before the shipment is released.

Declaration of Customs Value: A required document confirming the declared value of the shipment for taxation and customs duty purposes.

Certificate of Conformity (If Applicable): Some imported goods, such as electrical appliances, industrial machinery, and medical devices, may require certification to meet Malaysias safety and quality standards.

Packing List: A document outlining shipment specifications, including the number of packages, weight, and type of packaging, required for customs clearance.

Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) (If Required): Some shipments entering Malaysia may require a CTN for tracking purposes. Importers should verify whether this document is necessary.

Terminal Handling Receipts: Proof that the cargo has been received and processed at the arrival terminal, necessary for customs clearance in Malaysia.

Phytosanitary Certificate: Required for agricultural and plant-based shipments to ensure compliance with Malaysias health and safety regulations. Yes2Qatar assists in securing this certification before export.

Veterinary Certificate: Necessary for shipments containing animal-based goods to ensure they meet Malaysias import health standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Malaysia: Some regulated imports, including used machinery, industrial equipment, and food products, may require pre-shipment inspection. Importers should verify PSI requirements before shipping to prevent customs clearance delays.

Legalization of Documents: Some documents, such as the Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin, may need to be legalized by the Malaysian embassy or consulate before export. Yes2Qatar provides document legalization assistance for exporters in Qatar.

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Malaysia must be properly labeled, including product descriptions, manufacturer details, country of origin, and expiration dates for perishable goods. Yes2Qatar ensures compliance with these regulations before shipment.

Restricted Prohibited Imports: Malaysia enforces import restrictions on hazardous materials, used consumer goods, and certain chemicals. Importers should verify compliance with local regulations before finalizing shipments.
