Keep Dry

"Keep Dry" is one of the international cargo transport packaging instruction marks, used to remind carriers and stevedores that the goods must be protected from moisture, rain, and condensation. It is commonly seen on paper products, textiles, leather, precision instruments, electronic products, chemical raw materials, and other goods prone to moisture damage. Usage scenarios include: printing on outer packaging shipping marks, container stuffing, warehouse storage, and multimodal transport handover. Notes: This mark is an instructional mark and does not have mandatory legal effect, but if cargo damage occurs due to the carrier's failure to comply, the shipper may claim liability on this basis; it should be used together with Chinese marks such as "防潮" (Moisture-proof) and "勿受潮" (Do Not Get Wet), and combined with practical protective measures such as waterproof packaging, desiccants, and container liners. Differences from other terms: Unlike "Fragile," which emphasizes impact protection, "Keep Dry" specifically refers to protection from liquid water or high-humidity environments; unlike "Keep Away from Heat," which targets heat sources and direct sunlight; and unlike "Handle with Care," which focuses on handling methods, "Keep Dry" focuses on environmental conditions. In foreign trade documents, it is often used in combination with marks such as "This Side Up" and "Moisture-proof," and must be noted in the bill of lading and packing list.
