FAQ

Packing List validation — common questions

How do I check a packing list?

Confirm each package's contents, quantity, and weights are present, that net weight does not exceed gross, that the total package count is positive, and that quantities match the commercial invoice. This validator checks those rules.

Why must the packing list match the commercial invoice?

Customs compares the two — mismatched quantities, weights, or marks are a common cause of examination and delay. Keep them consistent (CargoFide does this automatically).

Does a packing list show prices?

No — a packing list focuses on physical packing (contents, quantities, weights, dimensions), not values. Prices belong on the commercial invoice.
