View Sample Document (PDF)How Documentation Works for Your Order
Every VanillaNice export shipment is prepared with a phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice, and packing list as part of the standard export documentation. Depending on the destination, shipment size, customs regime, or customer requirements, additional documents such as a Certificate of Origin or laboratory analysis may also be required. Tell us your documentation requirements when requesting a quote so we can confirm what will apply to your shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Certificate of Analysis available for every order?
Lab testing is arranged for specific batches and shipments, not automatically included with every order — let us know your requirements when you order or request a quote.
Do these lab results apply to future shipments?
No. Each bulletin reflects the specific batch or sample tested at that date. Vanillin, moisture, and contaminant levels can vary between harvests and lots.
Can shipment documents include my company's details?
Shipment-specific documents are prepared using the relevant exporter, importer or consignee details as required. Requirements vary by document and destination, so confirm your documentation needs with us before shipment.
Which lab tests can I request?
Vanillin/moisture analysis, microbiological testing, and heavy metals screening can be arranged or discussed for bulk and wholesale orders depending on the shipment, destination, and testing requirements.
