Renova Trade prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and — where required — a pre-shipment inspection certificate, plus the EU export declaration and any waste-shipment notifications for regulated scrap. As the buyer, you handle your import registration/license, L/C opening, destination customs clearance, and local duties. We share document drafts before shipment so your bank and broker can verify them in advance.

Cross-border scrap movements from the EU are regulated under the EU Waste Shipment Regulation. We prepare shipments in line with those requirements, including notifications where applicable, and provide the paperwork your customs authority expects.
