What an export packing list shows

A packing list describes how a shipment is packed: what is in each carton, how many cartons, their sizes and weights. Customs uses it to inspect goods, the forwarder to plan the space, and the buyer to check the delivery. Unlike the commercial invoice, it shows no prices.

Frequently asked questions

Is a packing list required for export?

Almost always. Customs at both ends and the bank under a letter of credit usually ask for it.

Does a packing list show prices?

No. Prices are on the commercial invoice; the packing list shows quantities, weights and packing.

What is the difference between net and gross weight?

Net weight is the goods alone; gross weight includes the cartons and packing.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign up and no watermark. Download a PDF or Word file, or print it, as often as you need.

Is my information saved?

Only in your own browser, so you can come back to the draft. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
