Export Packaging Requirements
Packaging, containers, labeling and documentation are the most important components of shipping a package overseas. Every individual package must be shipped in the proper carton, equipped with sufficient paperwork to avoid items being damaged, delayed or detained. Sometimes companies will ship many items in a bulk-sized 20- or 40-foot containers, reducing the materials necessary to package and label each one. But even a large container has to be properly labeled and adequately documented.
