As an example, a requirement for a \u201cPacking List\u201d will be satisfied by a document containing packing details whether it is titled \u201cPacking List\u201d, \u201cPacking Note\u201d, \u201cPacking and Weight List\u201d, etc., or bears even no title.<\/li>\n<li>A packing list is to be issued by the entity stated in the credit. When a credit does not indicate the name of an issuer, any entity may issue a packing list.<\/li>\n<li>Banks only examine total values, including, but not limited to, total quantities, total weights, total measurements or total packages, to ensure that the applicable total does not conflict with a total shown in the credit and on any other stipulated document.<\/li>\n<li>When a credit contains a non\u2010documentary condition, compliance with such condition need not be evidenced on any stipulated document. However, data contained in a stipulated document are not to be in conflict with the non\u2010documentary condition. For example, when a credit indicates \u201cpacking in plastic cases\u201d without indicating that such data is to appear on any stipulated document, a statement on the packing list indicating a different type of packing is considered to be a conflict of data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packing list is a commercial document, in broad perspective.
