Document background
The Packing List and Commercial Invoice is a fundamental document required for international trade operations involving Qatar. This document type combines two essential trade documents: a detailed packing list that itemizes the contents of each package in a shipment, and a commercial invoice that serves as the primary commercial document between buyer and seller. It must comply with Qatar's Commercial Law No. 27 of 2006 and Customs Law No. 40 of 2002, as well as GCC trade regulations. The document is crucial for customs clearance, payment processing, and shipping documentation, particularly when dealing with Qatar's strict import/export requirements. It provides comprehensive information about the goods being traded, including their description, quantity, value, packaging details, and shipping specifications, while serving as evidence of the commercial transaction between parties.
