A confirmed LC adds extra security by involving a second bank, usually located in the seller’s country, to guarantee payment. This provides additional reassurance for the seller, especially if there are concerns about the buyer's bank.

Commercial Invoice Essentials
What information should be included in a commercial invoice
If something is missed or incorrect on a commercial invoice, it can cause delays with customs, incorrect duties or taxes, and even fines. In some cases, the shipment could be rejected or sent back if key details are missing or wrong. Repeated mistakes can hurt your reputation with customs, shipping companies, and buyers. It can also lead to extra costs for reprocessing paperwork or reshipping goods. On top of that, errors can affect insurance coverage and delay payments. To avoid these problems, it’s important to double check the invoice and reach out to us if you’re unsure about anything.
The UK Trade Tariff is basically your guide to figuring out the taxes, duties, and rules for goods you’re importing or exporting. It helps you classify your products and understand the costs or requirements you’ll face when moving goods across borders.
You can look up the right commodity code on the UK Trade Tariff website by searching for your product using keywords. If it’s tricky or unclear, you can ask HMRC for help.
Once you have your commodity code, the UK Trade Tariff will give you all the details like duty rates, VAT, and any other fees. It’ll also let you know if there are any trade agreements that could save you money.
It gives you the lowdown on what’s required for your goods, like licenses, certifications, or specific labelling standards. It’s super helpful for avoiding surprises at customs!
Yes, it does. The rules of origin help determine if your goods qualify for reduced or zero tariffs under a trade deal. The tariff will show you what’s required for your product to meet those rules.
The tariff gets updated regularly to reflect changes in trade deals, tariffs, and regulations. Make sure to check the latest version each time you plan a shipment.
