Frequently Asked Questions

What are shipping marks on a carton?

Shipping marks (also called case marks or carton labels) are printed identifiers on the outside of export cartons. They include the buyer's name, destination port, PO number, carton sequence, and weights — letting freight handlers and customs identify cargo without opening boxes.

What information must appear on shipping marks?

Standard marks include: consignee name and address, destination port and country, PO/reference number, carton dimensions and weight (gross/net), and carton sequence (e.g., 1/20). Some buyers require logos or additional barcodes — check your purchase order.

Do shipping marks need to be in English?

For most international shipments, English is required for customs documentation. The destination country's language may also be required by the buyer — always check the purchase order for specific requirements.

What's the difference between shipping marks and a packing list?

Shipping marks are physical labels applied to the outside of each carton. A packing list is a document filed with customs authorities that describes the entire shipment. Both are typically required for ocean freight and air cargo.
