International air cargo packaging and marking

When transporting goods, it is essential to ensure that the packaging is capable of safeguarding them from any damage, loss, or leaks. The packaging should be sturdy, unbroken, lightweight, and in compliance with the whole transportation process to avoid any harm or contamination of aircraft equipment or other objects.

Each cargo's outer packaging must have the consignee and shipper's unit, name, and detailed address, as well as their storage and transportation requirements specified by the shipper. It is important to ensure that all this information is clearly and prominently displayed.

It is required for the shipper to attach the carrier's cargo transportation label securely onto the external packaging of every single item of cargo that will be transported.

When using the previous packaging, it is necessary for the shipper to eliminate any remaining marks and labels on the initial packaging.

For the transportation of special commodities like live animals, fresh and perishable goods, valuables, and dangerous goods, it is crucial to adhere to the carrier's specific packaging requirements. These specific guidelines aim to ensure the safe and appropriate handling of such goods throughout the transportation process. Compliance with these regulations is essential in order to safeguard the integrity and well-being of the items being transported and to prevent any potential risks or damages that may arise during transit. Therefore, it is imperative for shippers and carriers alike to carefully follow these guidelines to guarantee the successful and secure delivery of these specialized goods.
