What is the difference between “document” and “non-document” or “product” shipments for international shipping?
A “document” shipment includes paper of little or no commercial value such as business correspondence, and generally doesn’t require a Commercial Invoice. A “non-document” or “product” shipment defines all other shipments and printed materials of value. Examples include clothing, automobile parts, sports equipment, books, etc. All non-document international shipments require a Commercial Invoice.
