Also known as: Packing List, Package List
Document detailing the contents of each package in a shipment, including weight, dimensions, and description.
A packing list is the document that details the exact contents of each package, box, pallet, or container in an international shipment. It complements the commercial invoice and is essential for customs to verify that the physical merchandise matches what was declared in the entry during a customs inspection.
When the traffic light shows red, the inspector compares the physical goods against the packing list. Discrepancies in weight, quantity, or description can result in penalties or goods detention.
Although the packing list is not a fiscal document, it is considered mandatory supporting documentation by Mexican customs. Its absence or inaccuracy is one of the most common causes of delays in customs clearance.
