A well-prepared pallet for the UK is wrapped in stretch film, has stable weight distribution (heavy at the bottom), does not overhang the footprint and carries a label with sender and consignee details. Plus a full document set: the commercial invoice and goods data needed for GB clearance.
Checklist
- Wrapping — several layers of stretch film, corner boards and a strap to the pallet if needed.
- Weight and distribution — heavier items low, a low centre of gravity, no overhangs.
- Labels — sender, consignee, pallet count, fragile/do not stack where applicable.
- Securing — goods strapped to the pallet, ready for two-way forklift handling.
- Documents — commercial invoice and data for post-Brexit clearance.
At OPTIMUS TRANSPORT we advise how to prepare the load for consolidation. See services and customs clearance.
