Each order has a Documents tab listing the documents it needs: the commercial invoice and packing list always, and others according to the destination, the product, the payment terms and the buyer, such as a certificate of origin, a phytosanitary or health certificate worksheet, or an insurance certificate. Each entry says which stage it is due by.

Generate a document

  1. Open the document and check the data it will use: parties, lines, weights, lots, bank details.
  2. Choose the language: English, Arabic or bilingual. Your default is set in Document identity.
  3. Generate it. It is numbered with your numbering pattern and, if you set it up, carries your stamp and your signatory's signature.
  4. Send it to the buyer, bank or forwarder from Expodite, or download it.

Verification by QR code

Issued documents carry a QR code. Scanning it opens a public page on which a buyer, bank or customs officer can confirm that the document was issued by you through Expodite and has not been altered. If your organisation has verified its email domain, the page says so.

A certificate issued by an authority, such as a phytosanitary certificate or a certificate of origin, is still issued by that authority. Expodite prepares the application data and tracks the request.
