Obtaining an import or export license
An export or import license is a shipping document issued by government agencies that authorise the trade of certain goods across borders. The issuing agencies vary depending on the type of goods to be traded. Before shipping goods, the type or category of goods being traded must be carefully established.
Where necessary, the competent government ministry or agency must be identified and contacted to ascertain whether the traded goods require a license to be exported or imported.
Additionally, import or export licenses tend to be valid for a fixed period of time and to entail administrative costs and complexities, so the applicable requirements must be understood. It is also important to follow the regulatory procedures set by the respective Party for obtaining an export or import license.
