Shipping between Qatar and Nepal requires precise documentation, strict customs compliance, and organized logistics to ensure efficient transit and clearance. Yes2Qatar, a leading freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export documentation is accurately processed to avoid delays. Below is a comprehensive guide to the required documentation for shipping between these two countries.

Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) Air Waybill (Air Freight): These essential documents confirm shipment details, including cargo description, shipper and consignee details, and the chosen mode of transport. Yes2Qatar ensures that all shipping documentation is correctly completed to prevent disruptions in transit.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If required, this tracking reference assists customs authorities in monitoring shipments and expediting clearance procedures.

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

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

Packing List: A breakdown of shipment contents, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, which assists customs authorities in processing goods smoothly.

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 mandatory document submitted to Qatari customs before the shipment departs. Yes2Qatar ensures smooth processing to prevent clearance issues.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Certain regulated products, such as pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery, and electrical goods, 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 Nepal, so importers must ensure they have the necessary documentation for Nepalese customs authorities.

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

Customs Import Declaration: This document must be submitted to Nepals Department of Customs before goods can be cleared for entry.

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

South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) Certificate of Origin (If Applicable): Goods qualifying for preferential trade treatment under the SAFTA agreement may require this certificate to benefit from reduced tariffs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Nepal must be correctly 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: Nepal has strict import regulations on hazardous materials, used consumer goods, and restricted chemicals. Importers should verify compliance with local regulations before finalizing shipments.
