Quantity List

A Quantity List is a type of foreign trade document used to specify in detail the specific quantity, specifications, and number of packages of each batch of goods. It usually serves as a supporting document to the commercial invoice and packing list. Usage scenarios include: when a letter of credit requires a quantity list, when the customer needs a detailed quantity breakdown for customs clearance or cargo verification, or as a supplement to a weight list. Precautions: The quantity list must be consistent with the invoice and packing list data to avoid contradictions; it should indicate the contract number, letter of credit number, date, etc.; if required by the letter of credit, it must be issued strictly under the specified name. Difference from a packing list: A packing list focuses on packaging details (such as number of cartons, gross/net weight, volume), while a quantity list emphasizes quantity (such as pieces, units, length, etc.). Difference from a weight list: A weight list focuses on weight, while a quantity list focuses on quantity. In foreign trade practice, a quantity list is often issued by the seller themselves without third-party inspection, but if the letter of credit stipulates that it must be issued by a specific institution, this must be complied with.
