What automated systems for export are there?
Question
Hello, I am looking to grow our exporting business. Presently we struggle mostly with the administration and the large amount of necessary forms for each transaction. We are exporting scrap metals and bulk via cargo ships and have to complete EU forms for instance the annex vii form along with many other forms. I am trying to understand if anyone knows of process of automation, perhaps a system, that helps automate some or all of these necessary shipping documents. So far my research hasn’t found anything that suggests that anything exists.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your question. A really interesting one and I’ll be really interested to see what answers you receive.
In the meantime, our Delivery and Documentation goes into some aspects of the process in greater depth, and may be of use.

Hi,
Have you tried e-z Consign to manage your orders/documentation? Setup a free account at www.4-exim.com and compare the forms available to your requirements. I note that Annex vii is missing at present but we’re happy to consider adding it and any other forms.
You can use the same data to submit a HMRC export declaration and apply for certified documents via your local Chamber of Commerce, which could help to bring the efficiencies you are looking form.
Kind regards,
Ian.
