Johnson: I suppose packing will be done strictly in accordance with the contract stipulation.
William: Yes, strictly is the word for it.
Johnson: Now, about marking. Are you using indelible paint?
William: We have received instructions from Mr. Brown on marking. Water-repellent indelible paint is to be use.
Johnson: Fine. And as the parcel is to be transshipped at Hong Kong, we must be assured that the boxes are strong enough to stand all the handling.
William: That has been taken into account. The boxes to be used are strong and waterproof. They are seaworthy and can stand rough handling on the wharves.
Johnson: Another question, William. It's about labeling. We require three languages on the labels, English, French and Chinese.
William: We'll see to it that the three languages are used on the labels. Any other requirements?
Johnson: Yes, one more thing. “Keep dry” should be marked on the boxes.
William: All right. All that you have just suggested will be included in the contract.
Johnson:I think that's all I want to say about packing and marking.
William:If there's anything more you want to do, just let me know.
Johnson:OK, many thanks.
