Import License Checklist Generator

The Import License Checklist Generator builds a starting checklist of licenses, permits, and certificates based on the type of product you are importing, then lets you track each item’s owner, status, and due date through to completion.

Regulatory requirements vary by country and product; use this as an organising tool and confirm the final requirement list with the destination customs authority or a licensed broker.

• Product-category rule engine: Selecting a category auto-adds the licenses commonly required for it.
• Status tracking: Mark each item Not started, In progress, Obtained, or Not applicable.
• Owner and due date per item: Assign responsibility and track regulatory lead times.
• Live progress bar: See overall readiness at a glance.
• Days-remaining countdown: Highlights overdue or urgent items.
• Printable checklist: Clean summary for your compliance file.

1. Enter the shipment reference, origin and destination country, and product description.
2. Choose a product category to auto-populate the relevant licenses and permits.
3. Add or remove items, and assign an owner and due date to each.
4. Update status as applications progress and watch the readiness bar climb.
5. Print or export the checklist for your compliance records.

Example: Selecting "Food & beverage" adds a health/sanitary certificate, food safety registration, and labelling compliance check on top of the baseline import license, customs bond, and product standards items — each with its own owner and due date.

• Reduce the risk of missing a category-specific permit.
• Give customs brokers and compliance teams one shared source of truth.
• Prioritise applications by days remaining, not guesswork.
