Packing list for Kuwait: 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.
Customs offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.
In Kuwait, 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Kuwait in New Delhi.
The Kuwait Embassy may require submission through its appointed service centre in India, and documents are normally attested again by Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival. We manage the India side end to end.
