Shipping between Qatar and Thailand requires meticulous documentation, compliance with customs regulations, and well-coordinated logistics to ensure efficient clearance and delivery. Yes2Qatar, a trusted freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export documentation is properly prepared and processed, minimizing 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 serve as proof of shipment, detailing cargo specifications, shipper and consignee information, and transport mode. Yes2Qatar ensures all shipping documentation is correctly completed to avoid any transit disruptions.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If applicable, this tracking reference allows customs authorities to monitor shipments efficiently and facilitates clearance.

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 comply with Qatars customs documentation regulations.

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.

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 appliances, may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export regulations. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this certification is necessary.

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

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

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

Phytosanitary Certificate: Required for agricultural and plant-based shipments to ensure compliance with Thailands 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 Thailands strict import health standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Thailand: 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 Thai embassy or consulate before export. Yes2Qatar provides document legalization assistance for exporters in Qatar.

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Thailand 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.
