Packing List – Embassy Legalization & Authentication Services for Arab Countries

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, based in Washington D.C., provides fast and professional legalization services for your Packing List documents when exporting to Arab countries. If you're shipping goods internationally, especially to the Middle East or North Africa, your Packing List must be properly authenticated and legalized to comply with customs and import regulations.

We serve as your trusted partner to ensure your documents meet the specific standards of each Arab embassy, helping you avoid customs delays and shipment rejections.


What Is a Packing List?

A Packing List is a critical export document that details the contents of a shipment, including:

  • Product descriptions

  • Quantities

  • Weights and dimensions

  • Packaging methods

  • Container or pallet information

  • Country of origin

This document is required by customs authorities in Arab countries to verify that the shipment matches the commercial invoice and is in compliance with import regulations.


Do You Need to Legalize a Packing List?

Yes. Many Arab League countries require that your Packing List, along with your Commercial Invoice, be:

  1. Notarized in the state where it was issued

  2. Certified by the Secretary of State

  3. Authenticated by the U.S. Department of State

  4. Legalized by the destination country’s embassy in Washington D.C.

📦 Without proper legalization, your shipment could be delayed or denied entry.
