Information about shipping documents

Unlike simpler TMS that only create shipping labels and waybills, Fraktjakt also helps with shipping manifests, delivery notes and even fills in your customs documents for security declarations, CN22, CN23, Proforma Invoices and Commercial Invoices automatically.

More than just labels and waybills

Shipping labels

Print the shipping labels using a label printers or on plain white A4 paper and then tape them to the top of the package. Also remove any old shipping labels from the packages.

Waybills

A waybill is a document that contains details and instructions on the transport of a shipment. Unlike a shipping label, the waybill is placed in a plastic pocket. It should not be confused with a manifest which is a receipt that the carrier has received the goods.

Print the waybills on a plain white A4 paper, which should be put in a transparent pouch attached to the package.

Shipping manifests

A manifest is a summary of all goods included in a shipment. It serves as a receipt that the carrier has received the goods.

Fraktjakt automatically creates manifests in duplicate. A copy signed by the carrier to confirm collection of the goods and a copy that the carrier can keep.

You can disable the creation of manifests in your print settings if you create your own manifests, but avoid sending goods without using manifests.

These documents are important for you to be able to prove the shipment if the goods should disappear. Be sure to get the driver's signature on the manifest. It is your receipt that the carrier has received your shipping and is required for you to be able to reclaim the shipping.

Today's manifests

If you made several shipping purchases at different times or from different shipping companies, you can get a combined printout for all today's pickups as Today's Manifests.

You can find this printout under the options menu at the top right both on the list of your pickups and the list of your prints. However, remember to print out the shipping lists well in advance of the pickup. After the booked pick-up time, today's pick-ups are no longer available in the Today's Manifests compilation printout.

Delivery notes

A delivery note is a document for the recipient that specifies what the goods contain. When the recipient opens the goods, they can make a reconciliation with the delivery note.

Commercial Invoices

A commercial invoice is used to describe goods that are exported for sale and is an important part of the clearance process where customs authorities classify goods so that customs duties and taxes can be assessed correctly.

All shipments to countries outside the European Union (EU) require customs documents, so also within the EU Customs Union, such as Cyprus, Greece, Malta, and Hungary, as well as areas outside the EU excise areas such as Åland and the Canary Islands, under certain conditions.

Correct and complete information on a commercial invoice is very important to get fast and problem-free customs processing. Most shipping companies require a commercial invoice in three copies, all individually signed. Two copies, you put a place pocket attached to the outside of the goods and a copy that you put inside the goods.

Fractjakt automatically creates a basic commercial invoice for your freight with the most common information pre-filled. However, it is still your responsibility to check that the information is correct and if any information is missing. If you wish to create your own customs documents, you can disable Fraktjakt's documents under your print settings. Be aware that some countries sometimes do not accept handwritten commercial invoices. If the document is not correct, the shipment may be stopped by the receiving customs or the shipping company's customs agent. Fraktjakt will then invoice for the additional costs that may arise.
