Packing Declarations for Full Container Loads (FCL/FCX) and Less than Container Loads (LCL) shipments must now be separate. You can download them here:

Changes for FCX Shipments
An annual packing declaration is no longer valid for FCX shipments (multiple suppliers, one consignee).
You must provide and FCL/FCX specific packing declaration (above) from the main supplier who packed the container. A separate packing declaration from each supplier in the FCX container is no longer required. If packing is done by one supplier or a third party consolidator, a single supplier declaration is accepted.
It is important that your shipments comply with these new requirements to avoid delays or non-compliance penalties. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team.
