Yes2Qatar, a trusted freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export paperwork is correctly prepared and processed, preventing 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 documents confirm shipment details, including cargo description, shipper and consignee details, and transport mode. Yes2Qatar ensures that all required shipping documents are completed accurately to avoid any transit disruptions.

Packing List: This document provides a detailed breakdown of shipment contents, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, assisting customs officials in processing shipments 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.
