Can every bundle show a heat number?
When the order requires heat-level traceability, marks/tags can be coordinated to match the MTC heat/batch. Confirm the rule before packing.
Do you provide container loading photos?
Loading and packing photos can be provided for the contracted lot when requested on the order or inspection plan.
What should shipping marks include?
