A Shipper’s Letter of Instruction (SLI) or Forwarding Instruction is an important legal document created between the exporter and the freight forwarder that is organising the export and logistics for your shipment. It is a detailed document which gives your freight forwarder all specific instructions relating to the export of your goods. The freight forwarder will use the Shipper’s Letter of Instruction to correctly arrange transport of your cargo and provide customs with all product details used for statistical purposes and to make any extra special arrangements.
