Transport signs also play a special role in international trade. According to the 'Convention', the risk will not be transferred to the buyer before the product is specified. The most common and effective way of product specificization is to mark the shipping mark on the outer packaging of the product.

When goods are transported in a container, the transport mark can be replaced by the container number and seal number.
