Supporting notes
Make the packing record match the purchase.
Ask for the proposed packing description in writing. Keep the goods, the packs and the paperwork connected through one order reference.
Record each packing level
- Describe the inner pack, if proposed, and its contents.
- Describe the outer pack and the number of inner packs it contains.
- Record net and gross weights separately, with their units.
- Request outer dimensions, marks and any handling information for review.
Leave the load plan to the actual proposal
Ask the supplier and forwarder to reconcile the proposed packing with the intended shipment. A payload borrowed from a website is not a load plan for your order. No container estimator is offered here because the required order-specific inputs have not been established.
Review before approving the draft
Compare pack descriptions and counts with the draft packing list. Mark any difference in units, weights or product wording and return a single list of corrections. Keep the approved draft with the commercial file.
