What to Verify in Packaging, Pallets and Shipping Marks for Block Rubber?

Typical Specifications

Common bale weights vary by country and factory, e.g., 33.33 kg and 35 kg; bales are then loaded onto pallets or shipped loose in containers. Packaging data directly impacts container stuffing, Bill of Lading, customs declaration and arrival verification. Order quantities must be cross-checked against packaging, pallet and container quantities.

Fields to Verify

Quotation and delivery records should at a minimum include product grade, producer, mill code, production date, batch or lot number, packaging, Certificate of Analysis (COA), container number and contract number, ensuring that quality issues can be traced back to the actual cargo.

For wooden pallets subject to phytosanitary requirements, confirm fumigation or wood packaging certificates; shipping marks must be consistent with the contract, Bill of Lading and arrival cargo marks.
