A packing list connects the commercial invoice, cartons, pallets and final receiving records. It should be reviewed before shipment, especially when one order contains many sizes.
Check item descriptions for bolts, nuts and washers, sizes, material grades, coating, carton quantity, total pieces, net weight, gross weight and pallet dimensions against the purchase order.
If the goods are for a project site, ask the supplier to match labels with the site receiving format. Small label changes can save hours during unloading and stock allocation.
