Packing Lists

a. A separate packing list shall be prepared on a DD Form 250 for each shipping container

and/or shipping unit, regardless of whether it is boxed, crated, loose bundled, skidded, or

unskidded. When more than one container is used for a machine, in addition to the packing list

for each container, a master packing list shall be prepared.

b. When the items are assigned to, or part of, a specific unit of plant equipment, the

packing list shall indicate the PEC and log number of the basic unit and the nomenclature of the

parts or component. If Government tag numbers or other identifiers are assigned to these parts or

components, they shall be used with the nomenclature.

c. The packing list shall be placed in a water-resistant envelope and securely attached to the

outside of the container in the most protected location.

d. No exterior packing list is required for:

(1) Containers having like items.

(2) Kits, providing the contents are listed on a label, lithographed, or listed in a manual

within the kit container.

e. As an alternate to the DD Form 250 activities with facilities to program computer output

packing lists from Basic Issue Item (BII) cards furnished by commodity managers may use these

listings as a packing list for single stock numbered sets, kits, or assemblies.

(1) The contents of the listing shall be so organized as to be readily understood and shall

not include information that has no bearing on the items or to the receiving activity.

(2) A DD Form 1149, DD Form 1342, or DD Form 1348-1, may be used as a packing

list for IPE shipments, provided the forms are marked to the effect that they constitute a packing

list.
