When you need a legalised packing list in Nepal
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 Nepal 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 Nepal in New Delhi.
