Commodity-grade export packing list: lot/batch, marks & numbers, package counts, gross/net weight, CBM and inspection certification. LC- and customs-friendly.

Quick Answer
An export packing list is a mandatory shipping document detailing the contents, weights, dimensions, and shipping marks of each package in a consignment. It is used by customs for verification, by carriers for weight/volume planning, and by banks for UCP 600 compliance to ensure the goods loaded match the invoice and Letter of Credit terms. This tool generates a professional, editable packing list.

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).

Lot NumberLOT-A2026
Package TypeJumbo Bags (PP)
Unit Count20 Bags
Net Weight(1,250 kg per bag)25.00 MT
Total Gross Weight25.04 MT

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.
