Ensuring Smooth Export Operations
Export Documents for Bitumen Shipments
At Bernet Bitumen, we provide accurate and comprehensive export documentation to ensure smooth customs clearance and international trade compliance.
Each shipment is accompanied by all essential documents, including the Certificate of Origin, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and MSDS, each tailored to meet the destination country’s requirements.
Inspection Certificates
We collaborate with globally recognized inspection and certification agencies such as GeoChem and SGS to verify the quality and quantity of every shipment.
These inspections involve sampling, laboratory testing, and issuance of independent quality certificates.
By working with reputable third-party agencies, we ensure transparency, credibility, and buyer confidence in every exported batch of bitumen.
Bureau Veritas (BV) Certification
Bureau Veritas (BV) plays a critical role in verifying the conformity and quality of our exported bitumen.
Upon client request, Bernet Bitumen coordinates with BV inspectors to conduct third-party assessments and issue official certificates that align with international trade and compliance standards.
PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity)
The PVoC program is a mandatory compliance requirement for several African countries, including Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
It ensures that imported products meet national quality and safety standards before shipment.
Bernet Bitumen assists clients in meeting these requirements through approved agencies to guarantee seamless customs clearance and regulatory compliance.
Import Declaration Form (IDF)
The Import Declaration Form (IDF) is a compulsory document required by customs authorities, especially in Kenya, before cargo shipment.
It contains key details such as the product description, value, origin, and destination, serving as a vital record for import control and taxation.
We ensure that all IDF documentation is properly prepared to facilitate smooth and compliant cargo entry into destination markets.
Packing List
A Packing List provides an accurate breakdown of shipped goods, including quantities, weights, packaging types, and container or drum specifications.
Each Bernet Bitumen shipment includes a detailed packing list to ensure transparency, efficient cargo handling, and smooth customs clearance.
Certificate of Origin (COO)
The Certificate of Origin (COO) confirms that our bitumen products are manufactured and exported from Iran.
This document supports customs clearance and may impact tariff rates and trade agreement eligibility.
We ensure timely and precise COO issuance for every shipment to maintain compliance with international trade regulations.
Commitment to Safety and Transparency
At Bernet Bitumen, we take safety seriously.
Our continuous commitment to responsible handling, transparent documentation, and regulatory compliance ensures that clients, logistics partners, and authorities can trust every shipment we deliver.
Bills of Lading
House Bill of Lading (HBL)
The House Bill of Lading serves as a contract and receipt between the freight forwarder and consignee.
It contains shipment details, consignee information, and terms of transport, ensuring secure transfer of ownership during transit.
Commercial Invoice (CI)
The Commercial Invoice details the transaction between seller and buyer, including product description, pricing, payment terms, and delivery details.
We ensure that all commercial invoices are complete and accurate to facilitate transparent trade and swift customs processing.
Switch Bill of Lading (SBL)
A Switch Bill of Lading is issued to replace the original bill of lading during transit, often for changes in consignee details or complex trade arrangements.
This document supports flexibility and confidentiality in international transactions.
Original Bill of Lading (OBL)
The Original Bill of Lading is a legally binding document issued by the carrier, serving as a receipt, contract of carriage, and document of title.
It allows the holder to claim ownership and take delivery at the destination port.
Draft Bill of Lading (BL)
The Draft Bill of Lading is a preliminary version shared for review before the final document is issued.
This process ensures accuracy and prevents discrepancies during shipment processing.
Customs Documentation and Compliance

Our team ensures that every shipment includes the required Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, MSDS, and Quality Certificate.
