Trade Document Translation
Waybill and Shipping Document Translation

What We Translate
Shipping Documentation, Translated for Cross-Border Freight
Waybills and shipping documents are the contract of carriage for international freight. Their accuracy in the destination country's language matters for customs clearance, claim handling, and dispute resolution.
Our trade-document translators work with bills of lading (B/L), air waybills (AWB), sea waybills (SWB), packing lists, and shipping manifests across all major trade lanes. Reference numbers, party names, Incoterms, and HS codes are preserved exactly.

What Our Clients Say
“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”
