An SLI is not a mandatory or legally binding requirement. However, the dependency may vary from country to country, determining the country-specific rules and foreign trade regulations. It serves as an order form as well as proof of purchasing from the forwarder.
The main benefit of an SLI is federal regulatory compliance! Prior to your goods being exported, Foreign Trade Regulations require a freight forwarder to transmit certain information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection on your behalf.

While an SLI may not be mandatory, it is most certainly the clearest way to provide instructions for your shipment. Many freight forwarders may even reject the shipment if you are unwilling to complete the SLI since this creates risk exposure to both the exporter and the freight forwarder.
