# What Export Documents Can You Provide?

Maote Pet Food can prepare standard commercial, product and shipment documents for international orders. The exact documentation package depends on the product, destination country, transport method and importer’s requirements.

Before confirming an order, we recommend that the buyer or importer provide a complete list of the documents required for customs clearance and product registration.

## Standard Commercial Documents

Standard export documents may include:

– Commercial invoice
– Packing list
– Sales contract or purchase order confirmation
– Product description and HS code information
– Shipping marks
– Container or shipment details
– Bill of lading, sea waybill or air waybill, as applicable

## Product and Batch Documents

Depending on the product and agreed requirements, Maote Pet Food may provide:

– Product specification
– Ingredient or composition statement
– Analytical constituent information
– Batch number
– Production date
– Best-before or expiry date
– Storage instructions
– Packaging specification
– Batch inspection information
– Certificate of Analysis, when agreed and available
– Product photographs or label information

Any required testing items, limits and reporting format should be confirmed before production.

## Certificates of Origin

A Certificate of Origin may be arranged when required, subject to the applicable issuing authority and shipment conditions.

If the importer requires a particular format, preferential certificate or legalized document, this requirement should be communicated before order confirmation.

## Health and Veterinary Documentation

Animal-origin pet treats need official health, veterinary or sanitary documentation.

The availability and format of these documents depend on:

– Product ingredients
– Processing method
– Destination country
– Applicable import protocol
– Requirements of the competent authorities
– Approved certificate format

Maote Pet Food will review the requested documentation before accepting the order. An official certificate cannot be guaranteed until the product and destination requirements have been verified.

## Additional Documents

Where applicable and agreed in advance, additional documents may include:

– Manufacturing process description
– Product flow chart
– Allergen statement
– GMO statement
– Shelf-life statement
– Packaging material declaration
– Traceability information
– Test report from an agreed laboratory
– Container loading photographs
– Pallet or carton details

Document availability may vary by product. Some documents or third-party tests may involve additional cost and preparation time.

## What Should the Importer Confirm?

The buyer or importer should confirm:

– Whether the product is eligible for import
– Whether an import permit is required
– The required health certificate format
– Product registration requirements
– Label language and mandatory declarations
– Customs classification
– Testing requirements
– Original, legalized or electronically issued document requirements

Maote Pet Food can support document preparation, but the importer remains responsible for confirming the latest local import and customs requirements.

## When Should Document Requirements Be Submitted?

All documentation requirements should be provided before:

– Sample approval
– Packaging artwork approval
– Commercial order confirmation
– Production scheduling

Late document requests may delay production or shipment and, in some cases, may not be possible after the goods have been produced.

## How Can We Review Your Requirements?

Please send Maote Pet Food:

– Destination country
– Product name and ingredients
– Order quantity
– Packaging format
– Transport method
– Required certificate or document list
– Import permit or certificate template, if available

Our team will review the request and confirm which documents can be provided before the order is finalized.
