  accordingly; this information should also appear on the Bill of Lading.
• Any cautionary markings must be permanent and easy to read. Use the languages of
  both the country of origin and English.
• The use of stencils is recommended for legibility – do not use crayon, pencil, or chalk,
  which may be erased, or tags and cards, which may become detached.

  carton

  identified as such on the carton and on the Bill of Lading. Temperature requirements be clearly stated on the cartons. Failure to do so may result in being charged for the value of the goods, freight, and replacement cost
