Shipping Marks

Shipping Marks

The purpose of these marks is to identify
your goods from those of other shippers.

They should be made boldly, with waterproof and salt-proof ink, so that they can always be easily read.
They should be in black, with red or orange for dangerous cargo.
The marks should be in both English and the language of the country of destination.
The final destination point should be made to stand out so that the package can be easily identified with the corresponding shipping documents and easily located for customs clearance and delivery.

To discourage theft, "blind marks" can be used that do not reveal the contents of the package.

Product descriptions or trademarks should not be shown. The shipping marks must be exactly the same as those shown on the commercial invoice, bill of lading, etc.
Some countries indicate exactly the shipping marks to be used.
Such specifications include the size of lettering, their position on the containers, the method of applying the marks (brush or stencil), and the types of weights and measures to be used.

Some countries such as India require that the import permit number be marked on the packing case.

In the case of cautions for handling, exporters are encouraged to use universally recognized cautionary marks such as a wineglass on the commercial invoice and bill of lading, etc. for "fragile", as well as words.
All cautionary marks, international handling symbols, destination should be very distinct, on three surfaces of each crate.

Marks of Origin

The exporter, as well as marking the container, must ensure that the goods being shipped abroad have the required marks of origin.

Compulsory Marks of Origin
Many countries require that all imported goods, and the packages in which they come, be marked in a conspicuous place with the name of the country of origin.

Exceptions are usually made for goods that cannot be marked, those that cannot be marked without injury, and those that can only be marked at prohibitive cost.

Corrective Marks of Origin
Other countries require that a mark of origin be placed on imported goods, if its absence would create a false impression about the origin of such goods.

This can occur if the goods show the place of manufacture with the same name as that of place from the importing country (e.g., Toronto, Japan, compared with Toronto, Canada).

Or when the label contains only the name of the importer or import agent, rather than that of the foreign manufacturer.

Marking Methods
Each country has regulations governing the manner in which imported goods should be marked, including the size of the letters.

Some countries require, in addition to the name of the country of origin, the words Made in or Produced in.

Sometimes, the language of the importing country must be used. As well as being legible and conspicuous, the mark should be non-erasable.

Labeling for Export

The exporter must also comply with any labeling requirements for its product in the importing country.

These often exist for prepared goods, beverages, and pharmaceutical and toilet preparations.

Usually, the label must show the manufacturer's name and address, a list of the ingredients, the weight or volume of the contents, and other relevant information.

Often, the required descriptions must be in the language and weights and measures system of the importing country.

In some countries, certain products must be registered with the appropriate government department and the registration number shown on the label.

Confuse the Opponent
Sun Tzu said:
Those who occupy the place of conflict early will be in a position to take initiative.

Those who occupy the place of conflict late must hasten into action troubled.

The ability to divide the enemy at the right time and place and launch an attack with all one's might, put oneself in a winning situation.
