Overview & methodology
UCP 600 Packing List Requirements
Under UCP 600 Article 14(f), a packing list must appear to be issued by the beneficiary (shipper) unless otherwise specified. It must accurately reflect the quantity of goods, marks, and numbers stated on other transport documents like the Bill of Lading and Commercial Invoice. Discrepancies in piece counts or weights between these documents are a frequent cause of LC payment delays.
Numerical Example: Standard Packing Entry
The difference between net and gross weight represents the tare weight of the packaging material (approx. 2kg per jumbo bag).
The Role in Customs Clearance
Customs authorities use the packing list to identify physical items without opening every container. Accurate 'Marks and Numbers' are essential for LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments to ensure correct delivery at the deconsolidation warehouse. For bulk shipments, it serves as a per-lot weight specification.

Frequently asked questions
Is a packing list required?
Yes. A packing list is a standard LC document required for all shipments. It details each package: lot/batch number, marks & numbers, quantity, gross/net weight, and cubic meters. Under UCP 600, the packing list must match the LC description and commercial invoice.
How should I mark and number packages?
Marks and numbers identify your shipment: typically exporter initials + shipment number + package number (e.g., ABC-001-01, ABC-001-02). Mark every outer package clearly with indelible ink. Customs and the receiver use these marks to identify your cargo during transport and unloading.
Why do gross/net weight and CBM matter?
Customs charges duties on weight/volume. Freight is charged by CBM or volume. Invoicing uses net weight (goods only). Always show both on the packing list. Discrepancies between packing list, B/L, and invoice trigger LC discrepancies.
