Marking
There are 3 principal types of marking which may have to be done on export packages:
1. The consignees’ own distinctive marks.
2. Any official mark required by authorities
3. Special directions or warnings.
In addition, weights and dimensions may be required.
Good clear marking is essential if the goods are not to go astray, and for this reason marks are usually made by paint or dyes through a metal stencil. Wooden cases are sometimes marked by burned impressions in the wood itself.
Under 1 we have the dippers' or importers' own marks, which are registered and so serve as identification. These marks are as important to the many people engaged in shipping as the address on an envelope is to the postman. They include the name of the port of destination.
Under 2 we have special marks demanded by the country of export or import. Some countries require the name of the country of origin of the goods to be marked on every package, and weights and dimensions may also be required.
Under 3 we have some special instructions regarding manner of handling, loading, lifting, etc., aid various warnings both for the owner's and the carrier's benefit.

HANDLE WITH САRE Осторожно!
In the past it very often happened that even clearly marked containers were roughly handled or wrongly stored—simply because the stevedores loading or unloading them could not understand the directions and warnings! For this reason the practice has developed of stencilling symbols representing warnings and directions: these can be understood by speakers of any language.
