What is export document attestation?

Why importing countries ask for attested shipping papers

Many importing countries, especially in the Middle East and Africa, will not clear goods or release payment until the exporter's documents are legalised. Export document attestation provides that legalisation through a fixed chain of stamps.

Commercial document attestation starts at a recognised Chamber of Commerce, which verifies the exporter and the document. The MEA attests the Chamber's stamp, and the embassy of the importing country adds the final legalisation. Some countries now run online systems for commercial invoices, such as the UAE's e-document attestation.
