Packing Declaration

This is a PDF version which you can edit all fields

Packing declarations must be issued by either:

• the exporter who packed the goods into the container (or consignment for LCL), or
• the supplier who packed the goods into the container (or consignment for LCL), or
• packer who packed the goods into the container (or consolidated LCL consignments into the container).

Our definition of a ‘packer’ is an entity who packs the goods into a container or observes (watches) the container being packed for export. In some instances, the packer may also be the supplier or exporter of the goods. The important thing to note is that the entity that packed the goods into the container/consignment is the one issuing the packing declaration.

The intent of this requirement is for assurance that the party issuing the document has actual oversight of the packing and can attest to the statements on the packing declaration.
