Export packaging refers to the outermost layer of packaging used to transport goods internationally. It is designed to protect goods during transit and examples include crates, drums, and shrink wrapping. There are three main types of packaging: export packaging for transportation, outer packaging that can also promote retail display, and sales packaging that remains with the product. Proper export packaging, labeling, and documentation are essential to ensure goods arrive undamaged and clear customs.

- 4. 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. 1. Packaging Cartons o Proper packaging helps to ensure the shipped item arrives to its intended destination undamaged. Perforation, moisture, breakage and excess weight are the four major elements to consider when choosing packaging materials. An exporter can choose between crates, barrels, heavy duty bags and corrugated boxes, as long as the material is durable, puncture-proof and moisture-resistant. If an exporter is shipping many items together, it might be more feasible to ship the entire lot in a container, as this can help minimize the risk of damages. 2. Bulk Containers o Exporters use 20- or 40-foot containers to ship large quantities of unpackaged materials together. When lots of materials are containerized, less protection is required because the items are protected by the large steel container. Because it is unlikely that the contained items will be removed while in transit, the contents should stay protected and intact from truck to ship to rail. Containerizing a mass-quantity of goods also helps them pass through the various frontiers and ports quicker, as border controllers, customs and governmental regulatory bodies only need to check one set of labeling and documentation. 3. Labeling o Shipping regulations mandate that all packaging and containers must be properly labeled. Labeling helps to ensure the package is properly handled, sensitive information, i.e., the shipment's value, is protected, and any safety requirements needed in handling the package are apparent. The overseas buyer can also specify additional labeling requirements, such as the shipper's mark, country of origin, packaging weight and dimensions. Some international buyers also request symbolic representation for handling and cautionary marks, and sometimes require warnings in the languages of origin and destination.
- 5. 4. Documentation o Documentation is one of the most important components of export packaging materials because the paper trail is what authorities use to permit the package's entry across the various frontiers. Conventional forms of shipping include one or more of the following carriers: air, train, truck or ocean freight shipping. For any of these forms of transportation, the shipper needs to provide an airway bill or bill of lading, which are the contract between the shipper and carrier. Other necessary documentation includes the commercial invoice, certificate of origin, packing list, exporter's declaration of the goods' value and insurance certificate. Different countries require additional documentations, such as the inspection certificate, dock receipt and warehouse receipt or export licensing, depending on the nature of goods being exported. Because each country can require different documentation, it is important for the exporter to investigate the destination's paperwork requirements.
