Overview

When you need a legalised packing list in Germany

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.

European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.

In Germany, a legalised packing list is typically requested for physical inspection at customs; it is also used for supporting the certificate of origin and insurance and cargo claims.

A packing list issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Germany accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Germany accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn German translation made in Germany; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.

Process

Step-by-step: packing list apostille for Germany

  1. Confirm the requirement

    Share the packing list and the instructions you received from Germany. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the packing list or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the packing list.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Tracked return

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

What to send us

  • Matching commercial invoice and certificate of origin
  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Certified German translation, if the authority in Germany asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection

  • Legalise it in the same batch as the invoice and COO.
