Packing List; Packing Slip; Shipping List
A packing list is a statement of the contents of a container prepared by the shipper. This document is usually inside an attached shipping pouch or put into the container so that the quantity of merchandise and the types of items shipped may be counted by the person who opens it. In commercial transactions, packing lists are itemized lists of the contents of cases or containers in a shipment.
In a commercial packing List, items are listed separately with their weight and description in order to permit foreign customs and the recipient of the goods to check them on arrival. Packing lists must be accurate and detailed in order to satisfy both the foreign customs officials, and the recipient/buyer.
A packing list is an essential document for customs authorities in carrying out their inspection and for the customer in identifying the content of the shipment. A packing list also provides details of how the goods are packed, the contents of different boxes, cartons etc., and details of the weights and measurements of each package in the shipment.
