As a part of a Shipping Document, a Packing List details the inventory of goods or items shipped on consignment. It typically accompanies the shipment and provides essential information about the contents, quantities, and packaging of the goods. It’s better if you ask the Exporter to stick a detailed packing list on each package.

This document serves as a record of the items included in the consignment and helps both the sender and the recipient verify the contents upon receipt.

The consignment packing list typically includes the following information:

1. Description of each item or product, including product codes or identifiers if applicable.
2. Quantity of each item included in the shipment.
3. Packaging details, such as the number of cartons, crates, or pallets.
4. Weight and dimensions of each package.
5. Any special handling instructions or requirements.
6. The sender’s and recipient’s contact information and addresses.
7. Date of shipment and any reference numbers or identifiers associated with the shipment.

Including a consignment packing list with the shipping documents helps ensure accuracy in inventory management, facilitates customs clearance procedures, and provides documentation in case of disputes or discrepancies.
