Overview

Packing list for Afghanistan: what and why

The packing list describes how a shipment is packed: number of packages, marks and numbers, dimensions and weights. Customs officers use it to inspect cargo, and chambers use it to support the certificate of origin. The exporter prepares the packing list on letterhead, showing packages, marks, net and gross weights for each item.

Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.

Companies dealing with Afghanistan are most often asked for a legalised packing list during physical inspection at customs, as well as for supporting the certificate of origin and insurance and cargo claims.

A packing list issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Afghanistan in New Delhi.

Process

Step-by-step: packing list attestation for Afghanistan

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the packing list and any list your buyer or authority in Afghanistan gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The packing list is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  3. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the packing list, which the Afghanistan Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  4. Afghanistan Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Afghanistan in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.
