FAQs
Common questions
Why can't you tell me requirements from a general description?
Requirements depend on the exact goods. For example, 'machines' could need very different permits depending on type, function, model, condition and use.
Is there a full checklist?
Yes — see our Import Documentation Guide for the complete list of documents.
