Export proof of delivery documents that goods destined for a foreign consignee have arrived and been properly received. From the perspective of exporters and customs authorities, this proof is crucial: it confirms that the export shipment was genuinely completed and did not go missing in transit. The document typically includes shipper, consignee, delivery date, recipient's signature, and where applicable, transport conditions or condition upon arrival. Freight forwarders use it for payment release, invoicing, and as evidence before customs and tax authorities.
