EMERSON International and Domestic Logistics Routing
General Logistics Guidelines
Suppliers are required to comply with the logistics guidelines contained in
this document. Suppliers are to use the mode and carrier specified by Emerson.
Higher costs incurred due to non-compliance are the responsibility of the
supplier.
Suppliers are expected to prepare goods and book shipment at the appropriate
time in order to meet required-by dates. Suppliers are responsible for working
with Emerson buyers to understand transit times and plan shipments
accordingly. Higher costs due to expedited shipments needed to meet agreed-to
required-by dates are the responsibility of the supplier.
Suppliers are responsible for the costs of re-routing shipments misdirected
due to improper booking or labeling. Suppliers are responsible for the
performance and compliance of any third-party warehouses or logistics
providers employed by the supplier.
Use of account numbers provided within this guide is strictly limited to
shipments to Emerson or third-parties only with express instruction. Suppliers
are prohibited from sharing these account numbers with any third parties or
using them for any other purpose.
Copies of invoice and packing slip are to be sent electronically to your
Emerson buyer along with shipment tracking number as soon as booking is
complete. Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that the quantity of goods
shipped matches the packing list and commercial invoice. Suppliers are
responsible for ensuring that goods are shipped in an undamaged condition.
Consolidation Guidelines – Overseas Suppliers
Suppliers are to have goods prepared such that they can meet required on-dock
dates with a single bulk shipment made once per week. Our intent is to replace
several smaller more expensive shipments with a single less expensive shipment
that will be booked in the Emerson SCO portal. Exceptions can be made at our
request for first article submission, quality exceptions, or to prevent a
production stoppage. After confirming receipt of these instructions, any
shipments made without evidence of a plant request will be charged back to
your company.
If you have less than 100 lbs (45 kgs) to ship on your bulk shipment day,
please contact the appropriate buyer/planner at the plant for authorization to
ship via DHL Express. This should only be requested for orders due within two
weeks. If orders are due more than two weeks in the future, they should be
held to ship with the following week’s consolidation.
Work with your buyer to ensure that you can plan shipments effectively while
meeting purchase order required dates. Specific questions regarding logistics
plans may also be directed to Lauren Durrigan
(Lauren.Durrigan@emerson.com) or Jeff
Sims (Jeff.Sims@emerson.com)

Country of Origin
U.S. Customs regulations require, with limited exceptions, that all articles
imported into the U.S. be properly identified as to country of origin and be
so marked. In addition, this marking must be in a form such that it will reach
the ultimate purchaser. The correct origin marking is necessary for both the
proper calculation of duties payments and so the ultimate purchaser can make
informed buying decisions.
1| The country of origin must be placed on the outer container in a
legible, conspicuous, and permanent manner.
---|---
2| Definitions:
“Outer Container” means any container in which the imported products are packed in for transport such as a cardboard box, pail, crate, etc.
“Legible” means the marking can be read in normal light without undue strain.
“Conspicuous” means the consumer can find the marking easily in a cursory examination of the product.
“Permanent” means the marking must remain attached to the article until the ultimate consumer deliberately removes it. The nature of the article will dictate the method. Stickers, hang tags, and printing are all acceptable if the marking stays on the item through all the wholesale and retail levels of sale, until the “ultimate consumer” deliberately removes the marking.
Label Requirements
All packages must follow the Emerson standard label requirements, which include:
- All exterior shipping packages must include at least 2 pallet labels which must be attached on opposite or adjacent sides (See Figure 1 below)
- Label Size:

SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY
FULL CONTAINER LOAD (FCL) REQUIREMENTS
Suppliers approved to ship full container loads (FCL) to Emerson Professional
Tools are required to visually inspect the container (prior to loading) and
complete a CTPAT 8-point Container Inspection Form (below example) that must
be provided in the shipping documents provided to the forwarder. It is the
vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the container is secure and fit to
convey Emerson Professional Tools merchandise before loading.
All FCL containers must be sealed with a high security seal that would require
destruction to be removed.
All seals must meet or exceed the minimum ISO 17712 security requirements.
Information regarding seals may be found at:
https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Bulletin%20-%20April%202014%20%20ISO%2017712%20High%20Security%20Seals.pdf
SOLAS – VERIFIED GROSS MASS (VGM) REQUIREMENTS
Shipper is responsible for the VGM of a container as well as for ensuring that
the VGM is communicated to the carrier.
VGM must be part of the shipping document and must be signed by a person duly
authorized by the shipper.
A container without a VGM form verifying the gross mass should not be loaded
onto a vessel until its VGM has been obtained from the supplier.
The shipper will be responsible for any costs that arise with not providing a
valid VGM Form (eg. Weighing costs, repacking, and administrative costs).
International Maritime Organization requirements can be found at
http://www.imo.org/en/MediaCentre/HotTopics/container/Pages/default.aspx
Example of a SOLAS VGM Form:
Hazardous Goods:
The shipper is responsible for all necessary marking and labeling of each package of dangerous goods, and each over pack containing dangerous goods, and must be in compliance with the regulations. Each package must be of such a size that there is adequate space to affix all required markings and labels.
1| All markings must be so placed on the packages or over packs that
they are not covered or obscured by any part of or attachment to the packaging
or any other label or marking. The required markings must not be located with
other package markings that could substantially reduce their effectiveness.
---|---
2| Shipper must ensure that each outer or single packaging used for
dangerous goods, for which
specification packaging is required.
3| Shipper must ensure that their responsibilities for marking are completely fulfilled when the package or
over pack is presented to the operator for shipment.
4| MSDS must accompany all Hazardous Good shipments.
Wood Packaging Requirements
Either wood or plastic pallets may be used. For international shipments, all wooden packaging, packing, and other bracing/blocking must be treated and individually marked with the IPPC symbol:
https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/protecting-agriculture/wpm
All shipping documents listed above must be emailed at time of shipment to
ProTools.Compliance@emerson.com for
Ridge Tool Company or
Greenlee.Compliance@emerson.com for
Greenlee Tools Inc.
Not providing accuarte documentation timely can result in shipping/importing
delays into the United States and may cause penalties that will be billed back
by Emerson Professional Tools to the Seller
(Vendor).
