Shipping between Qatar and Vietnam requires precise documentation, compliance with customs regulations, and effective logistics coordination to ensure a seamless transit and clearance process. Yes2Qatar, a professional freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export paperwork 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 key documents serve as proof of shipment, detailing cargo specifications, shipper and consignee information, and transport mode. Yes2Qatar ensures all necessary shipping documents are accurately completed to avoid any transit disruptions.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If required, this reference allows customs authorities to track shipments efficiently and streamline clearance procedures.

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

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.

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

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

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Vietnam 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.
