Documents required for shipment to Nepal include a commercial invoice, a customs declaration form (CDF), clearly marked and labeled packaging, and a certificate of origin.  Similarly, exported items sent by air require a CDF, a copy of the export license (if applicable), a commercial invoice, a certificate of origin, a copy of the letter of credit or advance payment statement from a bank, a foreign exchange declaration form, a packing list, a photocopy of the income tax registration certificate, an airway bill, and an authorization letter.

Nepal does not require open general licenses for imports. Traders need to show their general export/import permits and taxpayer’s certificate to import goods.  If the end user – for example, a project office, company, or institution - is importing goods directly, it will have to produce a copy of its corporate registration certificate and taxpayer’s certificate in order to obtain both foreign currency approval from Nepal Rastra Bank (Nepal's central bank) and customs clearance of the consignment.The incomplete document is the major problem faced by businesses while shipping.
