Downloads: 20+

This export container checklist guides teams through safe, compliant loading and documentation for international shipments. It covers pre-loading tasks such as staging pallets, matching manifests, consolidating loads, configuring hazardous materials, and validating weight limits. On arrival, it records container details, size, and HAZ or NON-HAZ status, with photos of container number and interior. The inspection section checks structural integrity, cleanliness, and pest-free conditions. During loading, it captures photo milestones at 25, 50, 75, and 90 percent, confirms trained forklift operation, top-loading of light goods, bottom placement for hazardous materials, tight packing with even weight distribution, and bracing or Tygard wrap. Post-loading steps include final verification, placard assessment, sealing with recorded seal number and photos, and administrative archiving.
