When you need a legalised packing list in Djibouti
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.
Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.
Companies dealing with Djibouti 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 Djibouti in New Delhi.
