Which market requires which document, and who issues it.
Document requirements are set by destination-market regulators and independent inspection bodies, not by SIEL. Our role is to coordinate the application file, sampling and inspection schedule with the relevant body. Because rules change, current requirements are confirmed before every shipment.
| Market | Document | Issued by | SIEL's role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger | BESC / ECTN (electronic cargo tracking note) | The destination country's authorised body, through approved agents | Preparing the application with the shipping documents |
| Nigeria | SONCAP certificate | Conformity assessment bodies accredited by SON | Application file and inspection coordination |
| United States | ISF (10+2) importer security filing | The importer or customs broker, to U.S. Customs (CBP) | Providing the required shipment data before loading |
| European Union | CE declaration of conformity | The manufacturer, under the applicable EU legislation | Technical file and supplier compliance coordination |
| Any market | Certificate of origin | The relevant chamber of commerce or industry in Türkiye | Preparing the request with the export documents |
| Pre-shipment (where required) | Pre-shipment inspection report | An independent inspection body (e.g. SGS, Bureau Veritas) | Inspection booking and sample coordination |
| Supplier quality baseline | ISO 9001 certificate | An accredited certification body | Checking the supplier's existing certificate before ordering |
