Need Help Filling These Out?
Our team reviews drafts to prevent border rejections. We catch errors in HS codes, descriptions, and formatting before they become costly delays.
Common Template Questions
1 Can I customise these templates?
Yes, these are starter templates. You can add your company logo, adjust formatting, and customise fields to match your business needs. Just ensure all required information remains present.
2 Do I need all three documents?
Not always. Commercial invoices and packing lists are required for most exports. The Shipper's Letter of Instruction is primarily used when working with freight forwarders who handle customs clearance on your behalf.
3 Are these templates compliant?
These templates follow NZ export standards, but requirements vary by destination country. We recommend having your completed documents reviewed by our team to ensure full compliance, especially for high-value shipments or strict markets like China and the EU.
