Packing Declaration

Packing Declaration:
A Packing Declaration is a document provided by the exporter detailing how goods have been packed. It is often required for customs clearance to ensure compliance with fumigation and quarantine regulations. It includes information such as the type of packaging materials used, methods employed in packing, and any treatment applied to prevent pests. If needed by customs, it may list the specific fumigation procedures conducted.

Examples:

• Types of packaging: wooden crates, plastic pallets, cardboard boxes.
• Packing methods: shrink-wrapping, banding, strapping.
• Fumigation treatments: methyl bromide, sulfuryl fluoride applications.

The provided details help customs officials assess risks and verify if import regulations are met. This ensures the smooth transit and legal compliance of shipped goods between countries.
