Packing List

A packing list performs a list of the goods or a products that is packed with a packing method. Packing list commonly is created on spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel or any others. Sometimes buyer has decided the format of the packing list in their shipping manual to be used to each their order they have. If buyer doesn't has a certain format of packing list, shipper will makes a draft to propose to buyer for getting their approval including the content of each shipment.      

Now, some buyers have an online shipment system in a single window. They manage their orders by online system. Starting they put an order to a shipper till the goods are delivered of received by their warehouse, all these are recorded on their online system. Once shipper has finished produce their order, shipper submit the order data to be shipped out to the system covering quantity to be shipped out, the total packaging, the color, its nett weight and gross weight, packing method, and the shipment mode. Then the shipping marks and packing list will automatically created by system based on shipper data submitted to.

The packing list will be passed to buyer and bank in original, and it stated also on the first number of packaging, and occasionally the forwarder request the packing list to shipper, too. 

All contents on packing list stated are should be avoided from wrong. If found the wrong of the contenta it will become a big trouble and sometimes it will affect to the discount or penalty are coming to shipper. We have ever got some penalty because of this wrong thing. For several years ago our buyer from France has decided that the packing list should be written manually by hand. Of course, this is will becoming a big trouble when we don't have spare time to do this, because the closing time for cargo loading almost going over. Sometimes we didn't double check to the packing list we created up according to the short time to send the goods to the consolidator of the goods.

In addition, if we made a wrong content to the packing list and this has arrived in buyer hands or their agent, the extra handling can not be avoided. Then the additional handling fee in destination will born to shipper account.
