The package list with weights, dimensions and marks, reconciled with the invoice, which is what prevents half the incidents at destination.
It is the dullest document in the file and the one that prevents the most incidents. Whoever opens the container at destination does not have your invoice in front of them: they have the packages and this list, and if the two do not match, the goods sit in the forwarder’s warehouse until somebody back home answers an email. Here you not only compose it: the volume and the volumetric weight are worked out — the weight you will actually be billed for, not the real one — and you get told about the mismatches that otherwise show up on the loading dock.

The date is missing.

The place of delivery is missing.
The goods are missing: add at least one package with marks, contents and weight.
Everything happens in your browser: nothing you type leaves your machine. The volumetric divisors are the ones in general use in the industry; your carrier may apply a different one and it is worth confirming that in the quotation.
Every shipment, linked to its customer and its deal
In Exporta.ai every deal sits in the CRM with its Incoterm, payment terms and amount, so the invoice and the packing list start from the same data. Start for free.
