Exports are incredibly crucial to the modern economies as they offer business owners and business firms access to the markets for their goods or services. One of the core functions of diplomacy and foreign policy between governments is to foster economic trade, encouraging exports and imports for the benefit of all the trading parties.

Export documentation serves as a proof of the transaction between the exporter and the importer, while also facilitating the clearance of goods through customs. The documentation process can be complex and time-consuming, but it is crucial for businesses involved in international trade.
