Overview

Packing list for Vietnam: 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 across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.

In Vietnam, 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 Vietnam in New Delhi.

In our processing experience, Indian commercial documents for Vietnam go through Vietnam Embassy legalisation, even though personal and educational documents can now be apostilled.
