Examples of the types of commercial documents required to be produced as supporting evidence of export are as follows:

Customers orders Contracts
Correspondence Copy export invoices
Advice notes Consignment notes
Packing lists Insurance and freight charges
Evidence of payment/Credit transfer documentation Receipts

All of the above documents must clearly identify - the exporter, the customer, the goods (including the means of identification such as the serial number) and the export destination.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.
