When you need a legalised packing list in New Zealand
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 in Oceania occasionally ask for apostilled or legalised shipping documents, mainly for regulated goods.
In New Zealand, 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. New Zealand accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
