Documentation requirements for alcohol shipments
As a brand selling and shipping alcoholic products, you will be responsible for including the following documents with your shipments:
- Simplified Accompanying Administrative Document (SAAD), required for shipping to EU countries. The SAAD provides proof that excise duties have been paid in your country.
- Single Administrative Document (SAD), required when shipping from EU to non-EU countries. This document corresponds to a customs declaration and provides proof that alcohol products are being exported. Brands are required to prepare the SAD and to include it with the shipment of alcohol products.
- A commercial invoice for shipments between the UK and the EU, or the UK and non EU countries. Faire does not provide commercial invoices for alcohol shipments, you will need to create your own commercial invoice. Please note, depending on your products, additional fields might be required on the commercial invoice; or longer tariff codes. To learn more, visit How do I create a commercial invoice?
