What is Shipping Mark?


 

A Shipping Mark is an essential part of managing the transportation of goods, facilitating smoother tracking and handling of products. This mark appears on the packaging and includes crucial information such as the sender's name, address, order number, and other relevant details about the goods.

Using clear and accurate Shipping Marks is vital for reducing confusion in the shipping process, ensuring that products reach their destinations efficiently. Moreover, proper marking aids customs officials in inspecting goods more easily.

 

It is important to remember that all goods going into or out of Thailand should adhere to the following requirements :

  • All import and export shipments must include a shipping mark on outer packages.
  • Shipping marks must be included on House Air Waybill’s / House Bills of Lading
  • Shipping marks must be included on commercial invoices / packing lists
  • Shipping marks listed on all commercial documents must accurately depict those on the actual packages.

 

According to the Customs Act, all import shipments to Thailand must include a shipping mark on outer layer of the package. The same shipping mark must be notated on all shipping documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading. On these forms, entries of “N/M”, no shipping mark, or a blank space will no longer be accepted. Import shipments without a shipping mark or a shipping mark that does not match the documents are subject to a penalty not exceeding Baht 50,000 by Thai Customs Department.
