Bagged Cargo

Bagged Cargo refers to bulk goods packed in soft bags such as gunny bags, cloth bags, plastic bags, or paper bags. It is commonly used for commodities like grain (rice, wheat, corn), fertilizer, cement, resin, sugar, and feed. Usage scenarios: mainly used in sea, land, and multimodal transport, especially suitable for small to medium batches of goods that need to be sold in separate packages. Precautions: Bagged cargo is susceptible to moisture, damage, and leakage; attention must be paid to packaging strength, moisture-proof lining, and stacking height limits; during transport, it should be protected from rain and hooks, and avoid mixing with sharp cargo; the bill of lading should indicate 'bagged' and the number of bags, e.g., '500 bags of rice'. Difference from Bulk Cargo: Bulk cargo has no packaging and is loaded directly into ship holds or tankers, while bagged cargo has individual packaging, making it easier to handle and measure; Difference from Palletized Cargo: Bagged cargo can be further stacked on pallets, but palletized cargo emphasizes unitized transport, while bagged cargo emphasizes packaging form. Difference from Nude Cargo: Nude cargo has no packaging at all, such as steel and timber. In foreign trade documents, the packaging method must be accurately described to avoid delivery disputes caused by confusion between 'bagged' and 'bulk'.
