Core export documents

Every solar lighting shipment starts with the commercial invoice and packing list. These are standard export documents required for customs clearance, payment, and cargo tracking. The commercial invoice describes the goods and commercial terms; the packing list details each package's contents, dimensions, and weight.

FOB vs DDU: who handles what

FOB and DDU are common delivery terms in solar lighting trade. They change who handles international freight and import formalities. Under FOB, the buyer takes over responsibility once the goods are on board. Under DDU, the seller handles delivery to an agreed destination, but import duties and taxes remain the buyer's responsibility. Use FOB USD when discussing price; DDU may also be available depending on destination.

FOB: buyer handles international freight after shipment
DDU: seller manages delivery to destination, buyer pays import formalities

To avoid inventing HS codes or cert numbers in public copy, always refer customers to the hub for current certificate names and supported standards. Need certification documentation for a project?
