Packing list for Papua New Guinea: 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.
Importers in Oceania occasionally ask for apostilled or legalised shipping documents, mainly for regulated goods.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Papua New Guinea 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Papua New Guinea in New Delhi.
