# Package type (`package_type`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Kind of package in which goods are shipped, written as a word, for example Box, Carton, Bag, Drum or Pallet. Customs declarations, packing lists and bills of lading keep it next to the number of packages. The coded form in trade documents is the two-character code of UN/ECE Recommendation 21 (unece_rec21_package_code).
