FAQ
Buyer decision table
| Review area | Buyer decision | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|---|
| Packing identity | Can each bundle and box be matched to the packing list and erection sequence? | Bundle labels, box list, member marks |
| Protection | Are coating, threads, loose parts, and lifting points protected? | Packing photographs and handling instructions |
| Shipment release | Are documents, open items, and loading evidence closed or controlled? | Release checklist, open-item log, loading photographs |
Evidence checklist
- Approved packing list and marking plan
- Pre-loading packing photographs
- Container loading plan
- Shipment release and open-item record
Red flags
- Bundle labels cannot be read after loading
- Loose parts are not linked to an installation area
- Shipment proceeds with undocumented open inspection items
Practical example
A site team reports missing bolts even though the packing total is correct. The buyer changes the next shipment to box-level labels tied to erection zones and requires photographs before container sealing.

Common questions for this section
What creates the most export delivery confusion?
Confusion usually comes from weak package labels, missing bolt boxes, unclear component marks, incomplete packing photos, or shipping documents that do not match site receiving needs.
When should delivery checks happen?
Check before packing is closed, during container loading, after loading photo review, and again when site receiving documents are prepared.
Which linked guide should site teams read first?
Start with component marking when the main risk is sorting steel members on site, and use bolt packing when small parts or fasteners are the main risk.
