Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Shipment purpose” is Return or repair, “Original shipment and return or repair references” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Are any goods subject to permit or restriction review?” is Yes or unsure, “Goods and supporting authorization references for review” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Are any declared details still unconfirmed?” is Yes, “Unconfirmed information and responsible reviewer” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Preparing customs paperwork is harder when the shipment description says only parts or samples and the value has no currency. This intake form helps a shipper assemble specific, reviewable information before an authorized person prepares or submits the required documents. It is not an official government form, customs declaration, or filing service. The opening section identifies the shipper, consignee, countries, and shipment references so the preparation team can connect the information to the correct movement of goods. The goods section asks for item-by-item descriptions, quantities, units, values, currencies, and countries of origin. It distinguishes origin from the country of dispatch and allows a proposed classification reference without presenting an unverified code as approved. Shipment purpose, freight and insurance amounts where known, and supporting invoice or permit references help reviewers identify missing context. A final acknowledgment confirms the source of the information and flags unresolved questions instead of certifying legal compliance. This template is for business shippers, shipping coordinators, and broker intake teams gathering facts. It does not determine tariff classification, calculate duties, establish admissibility, provide sanctions screening, or replace destination-specific documents. A qualified customs professional or the relevant authority should resolve filing requirements and uncertain declarations before submission.

Set it up step by step

Ask the carrier, customs professional, or relevant authority which documents and information this shipment needs.
- 2
Describe each product precisely
Gather descriptions, quantities, values, currencies, and origins from reliable commercial or production records.
- 3
Flag uncertain classifications and restrictions
Send unresolved codes, permits, and value questions to an appropriate reviewer instead of guessing.
- 4
Prepare and review official documents
Use the checked information to complete the required paperwork through the proper authorized process.
Mistakes to avoid
- Presenting this intake as an official government customs declaration.
- Using the dispatch country as every product's country of origin without checking.
- Omitting currency or assigning zero value merely because an item is a gift or sample.

Frequently asked questions

Can it replace a commercial invoice?
No. It collects useful source information, but invoices and other required documents must be prepared in the appropriate format.
Does completing this book transport?
No. Courier Booking Form collects a separate transport request, which still needs carrier acceptance and confirmation.
