4-43. PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT.
All equipment is to be identified, packed, and stored in containers in accordance with the approved packing plan and the
Packing/Marking Plan for the Area involved. The following are points that must be covered in the identification and
repacking program.
NOTE
Equipment shipments must be properly identified, marked or tagged for the benefit
of the recipient. Containers must have external markings in accordance with the
Packing/Marking Plan. The recipient must be made aware of any deviation.
a.
The packing plan is an identification system for containers and an inventory of what is required. If any equipment
is missing, it must be located or action must be taken to replace it. Notify receiving party promptly that equipment is
missing and what action has been taken to replace it. Information on such faults should be over-packed with the
shipment.
b.
The equipment should be repacked in the same containers in which it was originally received unless damaged
beyond repair. If the container is damaged, it should be passed through maintenance channels for repair or replacement.
c.
Each piece of equipment going into a container should be clearly indicated with a tag or markings showing the
abbreviated name of the item and the NSN. Small items are easier to lose and/or identify than the large items; therefore,
the marking of these items is important.
d.
Equipment must be protected and packaged in the container in such a way that it will not be damaged during
shipment.
e.
A packing list must be on both the outside and inside of the container and should be the same as the original or
match the packing plan. If an item is missing, it must be clearly marked as missing but should still be on the list.
f.
The identification markings on the outside of the container must be the same as the original markings. If revised
due to shortages, this will show up in the packing list. Shipping and installation instructions are all based on certain
container numbers of certain content.
g.
Be sure action is taken, and that the appropriate maintenance authorities are notified, of any equipment that is
missing or damaged at the time of shipment.
h.
Do not ship unserviceable equipment to a user unless arrangements are made ahead of time for the user to make
corrections. Such shipment should be fully authorized.
i.
Pack all the technical manuals available on the equipment with the equipment to which it applies.
