What is Packing List?

A packing list is a shipping document that outlines the contents of a shipment. It’s used by shippers to track their shipments and by customs officials to clear shipments through customs.

Packing lists normally include:

  • Exporter’s information: name, address, and contact information.
  • Consignee’s information: name, address, and contact information.
  • Shipping information: Shipping date, mode of transportation, and shipping carrier.
  • Package information: Number of packages, size and weight of each package, and the contents of each package

Accurate packing lists, like any other document needed for import, is crucial to ensuring the customs clearance process is smooth and hassle-free.
