What can a document provider do — and not do — on logistics files?

The matter being asked about is “What can a document provider do”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The common failure in this group of cases is a translation that does not match the certification type required. The terms that frame this page are document · provider · logistics · files. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. Before starting, keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts. Tariff codes and container numbers stay in their original form and are never translated over. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. Container and seal numbers must be transcribed exactly, as they are checked at the destination port. Bills of lading state shipping terms as international codes; keep the code and gloss it in brackets. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. Delivery orders issue only after freight is paid; check the document sequence before filing. ILC handles documents only: translation, certified translation, coordinating a notarial services attorney and running certification at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It is not a freight forwarder, customs broker, shipping or airline agent or tariff consultant, and it guarantees no decision by the Customs Department, the Marine Department, CAAT, a bank, an insurer or any foreign authority. Import and export in Thailand are governed by the Customs Act B.E. 2560, with declarations filed to the Customs Department through the electronic customs system. The standard supporting set is the commercial invoice, packing list, transport document and certificate of origin. Where a supporting document is in a foreign language, the office may require a translation that matches the original exactly so tariff classification and customs value can be checked. A Thai document for use abroad is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, then submitted for certification to the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued for Thai documents. Cost and lead time depend on page count, how many certified sets are needed, the target language and the steps the receiving party requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
