If you are shipping goods by air, the shipper needs to be clear about how the goods should be packaged to comply with air transport regulations, whether special packaging is required, or whether cardboard boxes should be used, etc., so that the shipper will not be required to repackage or improve the goods due to non-compliance with regulations.
