Our glossary simplifies common industry terms in freight and logistics into clear, easy-to-understand explanations.
Non-Document Shipment refers to shipments containing merchandise or of commercial value, requiring customs clearance and tax payment based on the nature of the goods. This differs from "document shipments," which only deliver paper documents.
Cross-border e-commerce parcels, samples, and gifts often fall into this category. Accurately declaring the product name, value, and HS code can reduce inspection rates and avoid fines or returned shipments.
