Why Jamaica asks for a legalised packing list
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.
Customs brokers and banks in the Americas may ask for apostilled shipping documents for certain goods or payment terms.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Jamaica usually ask for a legalised packing list for physical inspection at customs, supporting the certificate of origin or 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. Jamaica accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
