No Military Shipping Label: A Military Shipping Label (MSL) is required for all shipments to DoD customers or shipments transported via the DLA transportation network. The shipping label should be prepared in accordance with paragraph 5.2.2 Military Shipping Label (MSL).
Missing TCN and Mark For (M/F) information: These markings are necessary as they identify the ultimate consignee to the transshipment points (CCPs, APOEs, etc) and are used for overseas routing.
No Bar Code Markings: Bar code markings are required on all containers and loose or unpacked items. The National Stock Number (NSN) shall be bar coded on all unit packs and intermediate containers.
