Export Documents That Ship With Your Okoume
You cannot stand at our yard and inspect the cargo — the paperwork travels instead. Here is the pack every container carries.
The standard set
| Commercial Invoice | Contract value, Incoterm and goods description the customs entry will be built on. |
|---|---|
| Packing List | Piece counts, volumes and container mark-up — what your receiver tallies against. |
| Bill of Lading | The title document; your 70% balance is released against its copy. |
| Certificate of Origin | Establishes the producing country for tariff treatment at destination. |
| Phytosanitary Certificate | Issued for timber consignments as the importing country requires. |
| CITES Documents | Arranged per species and destination country's import rules — okoume consignments follow whichever regime the destination applies. |
Exact document sets are confirmed per species and destination on the pro-forma — if your customs broker needs something specific, ask before the deposit, not after the vessel sails.
See them before you buy
During negotiation we share scanned examples of the actual document set from a recent shipment (client identifiers redacted) so your broker can check the format against your port's requirements. Ask on WhatsApp or through the inquiry form.
What we do not claim
- No forest-certification badges — we do not market FSC or chain-of-custody claims we do not hold.
- No CIF quotes and no door delivery — FOB / CFR to your port only.
- No third-party inspection service — currently not arranged.
Government-issued export paperwork, yes; marketing certificates we don't hold, no. That line is deliberate.
