Shipping goods from Qatar to the Federated States of Micronesia requires careful preparation of documentation and strict adherence to both countries' customs regulations to ensure smooth transit and clearance. Yes2Qatar, a reliable freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, guarantees that all export paperwork is processed correctly, reducing delays and ensuring compliance with both Qatari and Micronesian regulations. Below is a detailed guide to the essential documents required when shipping goods between these two countries.

Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) Air Waybill (Air Freight): These essential documents confirm shipment details, including cargo description, transport method, and shipperconsignee information. Yes2Qatar ensures that all documents are filled out accurately to prevent delays during shipment.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If applicable, this reference helps customs authorities track shipments and ensures smoother clearance.

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

Packing List: This document outlines the contents of the shipment, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, assisting customs authorities in processing shipments smoothly.

Certificate of Origin (CoO): This certificate verifies the country of manufacture and must be issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce. Yes2Qatar helps exporters obtain and legalize this certificate when necessary.

Export Declaration (Qatar): A mandatory document that must be submitted to Qatari customs before the shipment departs. Yes2Qatar ensures timely submission to avoid delays.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Certain regulated products such as medical devices, industrial machinery, and electronics may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export standards. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this certification is necessary.

Yes2Qatar does not handle customs clearance in the Federated States of Micronesia, so importers must ensure they have the required documentation for Micronesian customs authorities.

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

Customs Import Declaration: This document must be submitted to Micronesian Customs for processing before goods can be cleared for entry into the country.

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

Phytosanitary Certificate: Required for agricultural and plant-based shipments to ensure compliance with Micronesian health and safety regulations. Yes2Qatar assists in securing this certificate from Qatari authorities before export.

Veterinary Certificate: Necessary for shipments containing animal-based products to meet Micronesian health standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Micronesia: Some regulated goods, such as used machinery, industrial equipment, and food products, may require pre-shipment inspection. Importers should confirm whether PSI is required before shipment to avoid delays at customs.

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