Reuse Across Every Shipment
Apply any template to multiple shipments without recreating it each time. Your team maintains consistent export documentation standards across every consignment without doing the same work twice.
04
Direct Shipment Integration

What documents are required for export from India?
The standard documents required for export from India include a commercial invoice, a packing list, a certificate of origin, a bill of lading or airway bill, a shipping bill, and in some cases a VGM document, a phytosanitary certificate, or a health certificate depending on the product and destination. Freightnaut generates all of these from a single shipment record.
What is export documentation software?
Export documentation software automates the creation, formatting, and management of the documents required for international shipping. It pulls shipment data including product details, HS codes, and consignee information and generates compliant, correctly formatted documents automatically, eliminating manual entry and formatting errors.
What is a proforma invoice in export?
A proforma invoice in export is a preliminary document sent to a buyer before goods are dispatched. It sets out the expected price, quantities, and shipping terms and is commonly required to open a letter of credit or obtain import approval in the buyer's country. It is not a demand for payment but is a standard part of the export documentation process.
What is a VGM document?
A VGM document, or Verified Gross Mass document, is a mandatory compliance requirement under SOLAS regulations for all packed containers shipped by sea. It declares the verified total weight of the container before loading. Containers without a valid VGM submission cannot be loaded. Freightnaut generates VGM documents automatically as part of the shipment workflow.
How does Freightnaut generate export documents?
Freightnaut stores your shipment data including product names, HS codes, weights, consignee information, and shipping terms and uses your saved templates to generate every required document automatically. Once a template is created, it can be reused across every future shipment with auto-filled data, producing compliant export documents in under 90 seconds.
Can I create custom export document templates in Freightnaut?
Yes. Freightnaut lets you build fully custom export documentation templates tailored to your specific buyer requirements, destination country standards, or internal compliance needs. You can also use predefined templates for standard documents and adjust them as needed.
