UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER

Clear inputs.
Explainable results.

A packing list describes what is in each package and how it is packed. Use package marks, a specific goods description, quantities, dimensions, and net and gross weights that match the physical shipment and supporting documents.

Shipment totals = sum of package quantities, volumes, net weights and gross weights

How to use this tool

  1. Add shipment references and the parties that need to identify the cargo.
  2. Use one row for packages with identical contents, size and weights. Give each group clear package marks.
  3. Check the preview against the goods and invoice, then export or print. Confirm any destination-specific document requirements.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

For five identical chair crates, a row can use marks CH-01–CH-05, description “dining chairs, two per crate”, five packages, 40 kg net and 45 kg gross per package. The row totals are 200 kg net and 225 kg gross.

What the estimate covers

This is a draft worksheet, not a commercial invoice or certification. It does not validate HS codes, origin, regulated goods or destination requirements. Inputs are processed in your browser; this tool does not submit the form to Allwayforward.

GOOD QUESTIONS

A few things
worth knowing.

Talk about your shipment ↗
Is a packing list the same as a commercial invoice?

No. A packing list describes package contents and physical details. A commercial invoice records the sale and values; the information should be consistent.

Can I combine different suppliers?

Yes. Use the package marks or description to identify each supplier’s goods and keep references traceable. Do not combine non-identical packages into one row.

What is included in the export?

CSV includes shipment reference fields, package marks, descriptions, counts, dimensions and calculated totals. Print produces a draft document that you can save as PDF using your browser.
