Insofar as the goods, given their nature and the type of carriage agreed, require packaging, the shipper is to package them such that they are protected against loss and physical damage and that the carrier suffers no detriment. Where the goods are to be delivered for carriage in or on a container, a pallet, or any other article of transport used to consolidate cargo units, the shipper is to properly and carefully stow and secure the goods, also in or on the article of transport, in such a way that they will not cause harm to persons or property. Furthermore, the shipper is to mark the goods insofar as their contractually agreed handling so requires.
