<h1>Mandatory documents for cross-border trade reduced to three, streamlining export and import compliance and procedures.</h1> Reduction to three mandatory documents for exports and imports consolidates compliance: Customs has merged Commercial Invoice and Packing List into a single Commercial Invoice cum Packing List; RBI foreign exchange control forms have been dispensed with by incorporating declarations into the Shipping Bill or removing Form A 1; and the Shipping Ministry has removed the Terminal Handling Receipt requirement via online processing. The mandatory export set is Bill of Lading/Airway Bill, Commercial Invoice cum Packing List, and Shipping Bill/Bill of Export; the mandatory import set is Bill of Lading/Airway Bill, Commercial Invoice cum Packing List, and Bill of Entry.
