This section is designed to assist brokers, importers and exporters in the preparation of customs documentation for the importation of goods into and exportation of goods from Lao PDR.

This section also gives you an overview of the Harmonized System for classification of goods and methods of valuation of goods based on the GATT Valuation System.

You may choose to prepare your customs documentation or obtain the services of a licensed broker. In all cases you need to submit, together with your declaration, basic supporting documents which are:

1. A cargo control or transport document
2. A carrier advice note
3. An invoice
4. Relevant permits and authorizations

If you are faced with a problem to complete the declaration form, please contact the nearest customs office.
