What is a Packing List?

A packing list isn’t a payment receipt, but rather a detailed document used in international shipping. When you hire a shipping company to transport equipment overseas, they’ll typically create a packing list.

What’s Included in a Packing List?

This document ensures everything arrives safely and clearly outlines the items being shipped. It details:

  • Method of Packing:  How the items are packaged (boxes, pallets, etc.)
  • Number of Items:  The exact quantity of each product being shipped.
  • Item Details:  Descriptions or identification numbers for each product.
  • Weight:  The weight of each item and the total shipment weight.

Benefits of a Packing List:

  • Transparency:  Clients can verify the contents and condition of their shipment upon arrival.
  • Efficiency:  Packing lists streamline customs clearance by providing clear information.
  • Accuracy:  Both the shipper and receiver have a record of the shipped items.
