What do the packing terms in the contract generally include? How should it be stipulated?

Generally speaking, the packaging clauses of foreign trade contracts include two aspects:

First, packaging materials and methods, such as wooden cases, cartons, iron drums, sacks, etc. , as well as the size, weight or quantity of each piece, reinforcement, etc. Fill in as required;

Secondly, according to international practice, the mark and number are generally determined by the seller and the buyer. However, when signing the contract, the importer must put forward clear requirements and responsibilities to reduce unnecessary losses during transportation.

Attention should be paid to when concluding the packing terms:

(1) Some packaging terms, such as seaworthy packaging and customary packaging, are controversial because they can be interpreted differently. Unless the buyer and the seller reach an agreement in advance, they should be avoided. In particular, the conditions of equipment packaging should be stipulated in the contract. For example, the packaging of special precision equipment must meet the transportation requirements, and conditions such as earthquake-proof measures should also be stipulated.

(2) If the mark and number are determined by the buyer, the arrival time of the mark (the content of the mark must be approved by the seller) and the responsibilities that the buyer shall bear if it fails to do so.
