Where should pallet documentation be attached on an inbound cargo pallet?

The correct practice for attaching pallet documentation is to place it on the upper left-hand corner of the pallet, at eye level. This position ensures that the documentation is easily visible and accessible to personnel involved in the handling and processing of the cargo. By adhering to this standard, it facilitates efficient identification and tracking of the cargo throughout its journey.

Attaching documentation at eye level minimizes the risk of it being overlooked or obscured by other cargo, which can happen if it were placed on the bottom or inside the pallet. The designated location helps maintain proper workflow and communication among air freight handlers, reducing delays and potential errors in cargo processing. Placing documentation on the right side may also lead to visibility issues, especially if the pallet is stacked or positioned in a way that makes it difficult to see. Therefore, positioning it in the upper left-hand corner at eye level is the best practice in air freight operations.
