The packing list should identify each package and reconcile the total count and weight. Prepare separate lists for different suppliers.
Check the packaging
Packaging protection should suit the transport mode and potential handling stages. Confirm stackability, pallet use and securing requirements.
Confirm loading arrangements
Provide the address, warehouse opening hours and available loading equipment. Site access and vehicle restrictions may affect collection.
Confirm cargo readiness
Cargo and documents should be ready by the agreed date. Batteries, liquids and temperature-controlled goods require discussion in advance.
