🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo markings on export cases: know the difference between shipping marks that identify the consignee/destination, handling/stowage marks, and hazard symbols. • Handling/stowage marks vs hazard labels: hazard labels follow international dangerous goods formats (diamond, pictograms), while simple line symbols often indicate how to orient or treat the package. • Case numbering / lot sequence: how partial shipments are marked (e.g., 201/300) compared with symbols that show which side or end of the case should be up.

💭 Think About

• Look closely at the shape and style of the symbol at A. Does it resemble an international hazard label or more of a simple handling symbol? • Ask yourself what information each part of the illustration is trying to convey to stevedores: which part tells them where the cargo is going, which part tells them how many cases there are, and which part tells them how to place or orient the case? • Compare the circle with the internal line at A to common export case handling symbols you’ve studied, such as 'this side up' or 'center of gravity.' Which one is closest?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which part of the marking clearly names the destination or consignee and eliminate that choice for A. • Check whether the figure at A matches any standard dangerous goods hazard label shapes (e.g., diamonds with class numbers). • Confirm what the 201 / 300 marking usually represents on shipping cases so you don’t confuse it with the symbol at A.
