PACKING LIST

Shippers are required to log their shipments in KIK’s OTM portal prior to dispatch. This logging must include complete shipment details, including NMFC codes, shipment mode, and expected delivery dates. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in delayed processing or additional charges

All shipments must be accompanied by a packing list that:

• Is printed on 8 ½” x 11” paper
• Clearly identify the contents of the shipment, quantity, UOM, and purchase order number (if applicable)
• Securely attached to the product

Note that a copy of a properly configured BOL may serve a dual purpose as both the BOL and packing list.

BILL OF LADING REQUIREMENTS
The Bill of Lading (BOL) serves as the sole waybill defining the terms of contract carriage, providing evidence for goods loaded and proof of title for goods during transit.

KIK requires that a BOL compliant with 49 CFR §375.505 accompany every shipment.

In addition to the statutory requirements, KIK requires the following on every BOL:

BOL Footer Requirements
Each BOL footer must include signature blocks for the shipper, carrier, and receiver.

An emergency response contact must be included in the footer.

Bill of Lading Legal Requirements
	There’s so much information on the bill of lading. However, federal law requires certain information on a bill of lading. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, lists the following requirements:
	• Legal or trade name of the consignor • Legal or trade name of the consignee • Origin name and address • Destination name and address • Quantity of cargo • Weight, volume or measurement of freight (if applicable to the rating of the freight)
	Every carrier should carry a bill of lading showing, at minimum, all of this information during a shipment. This isn’t all of the information on a bill of lading, however.
Beyond the legal minimums, bills of lading often include a lot of additional information. These are are for the carrier’s, shipper’s, and recipient’s benefit. KIK requires all of the following:
• Freight payment terms (including whether prepaid or collect-on-delivery basis) • Special instructions • Hours of operation for both the origin and destination • Appointment times, if applicable • Carrier information (SCAC code, MC number, trailer number, seal number and so on • NMFC code and classification • UN Number, if applicable

PACKAGING, PALLETIZING, AND FREIGHT LOADING REQUIREMENTS
The origin point is responsible to ensure the order is properly packed and loaded to prevent any transit damage and tampering.

Packaging
It is expected that the packaging performs several functions during transportation, storage, and use, including:

• Containment of the product to ensure integrity and safety
• Protection of the product from physical damage
• Some examples include:
  • Orienting goods inside cartons to support stacking on top of largest outer box surface, or top surface for goods with directional stacking requirements
  • Designing cartons with vertical corrugation (fluting) per the stacking orientation
  • Using supportive packaging inside of outer carton (dividers, inserts, etc.) that supports the stacking orientation
• Convenience of use and ease of handling
• Compliance to legal and regulatory requirements

Pallets
All product must be palletized or crated.  Pallets must be sound and serviceable, properly support the load, and keep the product dry and uncontaminated.

• Only standard pallets (40” x 48”; 121.9 cm x 101.6 cm) are accepted without prior, written approval
• Pallet overhang is prohibited. Pallet underhang is limited to 3” in either direction.
• Product must be securely wrapped to the pallet
• Broken and damaged pallets are not accepted
• PECO, iGPS, and CHEP pallets are accepted. However, KIK does not participate in pallet exchange.  We do not return pallets to suppliers or shippers.

Freight Loading
For FTL and LTL shipments:

• All trailers must be dock height
• Retail-branded trailers are not allowed for any customer delivery.

For FTL shipments:

• Proper blocking and bracing is required on all shipments. Vendor should utilize airbags or Styrofoam blocks to prevent load shift.
• All load capacities should be based on maximum utilization of trailer space.
  • Loads on pallets need to be turned in the trailer to maximize space
  • A vendor not utilizing maximum space available may be subject to any additional freight charges incurred.
  • Suppliers are required to log all shipments in KIK’s OTM portal prior to dispatch. Failure to do so will result in a chargeback, the specifics of which will be outlined in the chargeback mechanism webpage provided to suppliers. This requirement is to ensure full visibility and timely notification of all inbound shipments to KIK.
  • Suppliers must consolidate shipments to the same KIK plant within the same week to the fullest extent possible. Exceptions must be pre-approved by KIK’s Transportation team. Non-compliance without prior approval may result in a chargeback to cover additional handling and processing costs.
  • All shipments must include complete and accurate documentation, including NMFC codes on the Bill of Lading (BOL). Missing or incomplete documentation that results in additional fees or processing delays will be subject to chargebacks.Suppliers must select the most efficient shipping mode for each shipment, based on the guidelines provided in this Routing Guide. Use of full truckload (FTL) when less-than-truckload (LTL) is sufficient, or unnecessary use of expedited parcel shipments, will result in chargebacks for the difference in cost.
