Overview

Why Sierra Leone 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.

Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Sierra Leone 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 Sierra Leone in New Delhi.
