Label

In foreign trade terminology, a 'Label' refers to a标识 affixed to goods, packaging, or containers to indicate information such as product name, specifications, quantity, origin, ingredients, instructions, warnings, barcodes, and shipping marks. Usage scenarios include: export customs declaration, commodity inspection, logistics transportation, import country compliance review, retail shelving, etc. Precautions: 1) Different countries/regions have mandatory requirements for label content, language, and format (e.g., EU CE label, US FCC label, origin label); non-compliance may result in return or fines; 2) Labels should be consistent with contract, letter of credit, invoice, packing list, and other documents to avoid 'document-goods discrepancy'; 3) Pay attention to label material, affixing position, and durability to prevent detachment or blurring during transportation; 4) For neutral packaging, confirm whether labeling is allowed and who will apply the label. Difference from other terms: A label focuses on descriptive identification on goods or packaging, while a Shipping Mark is mainly used for transport identification, typically including consignee, port of destination, package number, etc.; a label may include a shipping mark, but a shipping mark is not necessarily a label.
