1. INTRODUCTION
This guide is to advise Ford suppliers of the packaging requirements for the shipment of
components to EXPORT markets. If you are unsure as to which territories are deemed as
export for your company, please contact your Ford buyer, Supply Chain Management
contact or MP&L Export Packaging Engineering contact.
These guidelines do not apply where the suppliers provide the freight from the place of origin
to an overseas regional supplier operated warehouse. This is when Ford purchasing has
sourced material as 'Ex local warehouse' or 'FOB supplier's local distribution center'. In these
cases suppliers must refer to regional local packaging terms and conditions, e.g. the
MFG1750 or the EU1750 to define part packaging.
This document aims to standardize packaging methods for all Ford export markets, to ensure
quality is maintained, freight cube is maximized, and to be acceptable and adaptable to local
market conditions. This Global Export packaging Terms & Conditions document supersedes
all previous regional export packaging guidelines and is from now on the single document
for all export market packaging of Ford Motor Company. In case that local conditions have to
be considered this is specifically described within the document as a local deviation.
Use this specification for all parts that do not yet conform to the Ford IMC packaging
standard. Existing approved IMC packaging must be in compliance with the latest guidelines.
From these guidelines it is expected that the supplier will develop an export packaging
specification and submit it to the contacts detailed below for provisional or final approval.
If you supply components in packaging that does not conform to the specification you may be
held liable for repackaging and incremental freight costs. Deviations are not allowed without
prior written approval from Packaging Engineering. Packaging that proves unacceptable for
whatever reason (quality, transport, production process, safety, etc.) must be changed upon
request from Packaging Engineering.
Remember, the responsibility for ensuring component quality from your plant to the
point of use remains with you - the supplier of the product.

When your proposal is ready, complete the Export Packaging Data input.
Ford Motor Company has transitioned to a global Packaging Data Management System for
packaging approval. The Global Packaging Portal (GPP) replaced all former packaging
specification forms and processes. Detailed information is provided through the GPP
homepage. Any supplier who is requested to provide the packaging proposal through GPP,
can receive instructions by the available training material in the GPP website.
The GPP website location is: www.packaging.ford.com

2. BACKGROUND
Ford ISO-Modular Carton (IMC) program is a corrugated box footprint strategy designed to
"module" standard ISO-Sea Containers. Using modular footprints allows unit load cubing at
Ford consolidation centers and direct material loading into ISO-Sea Containers. This strategy
is required to maximize freight and quality while eliminating non-value added handling and
crating. Packaging is based around a unit load footprint size of 980mm x 1140mm x 1100mm
(39" x 45" x 43") and NOT the standard shipping pallet dimensions of 1200 x 1140 (48" x
45") or any other specification .
Due to the introduction of lean manufacturing techniques into all Ford plants, all packaging
quantities and sizes are required to allow for manually handable cartons wherever possible
i.e. manually handable cartons should, ideally, weigh less than 15kg (33 lbs).
To assist suppliers in selecting the correct packaging size, Ford has developed IMC Export
Packaging Selection Guidelines supporting the development of an ideal packaging solution
for any export part.
Ford Motor Company has globally standardized the IMC carton specification to support the
increasing global sourcing strategy. Refer to chapter 6 for more details.
Ford ISO-Modular Carton (IMC) program is NOT dedicated to packing of dangerous goods.
Cartons have NOT been subject to the packaging performance testing regime in line with the
regulations such as ADR/RID, IMDG-code, IATA-DGR or 49CFR. Pursuant to Section 36 of
the Global Terms and Conditions, when packing hazardous goods, supplier must comply
with all regulations specifically applicable to hazardous goods.

3. HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT

To ensure that all export packaging is in accordance with Ford requirements follow these
steps:
Step 1:
For each export which is shipped to export markets, select the ideal
expendable corrugated IMC solution using the given requirements and
Export Packaging Selection Guidelines (Chapter 6).
Step 2:
Advise Packaging Engineering of your packaging proposal by completing

the GPP input.
Step 3:
If internal dunnage is required or special part protection included in your

Packaging Proposal Input.
Step 4:
Packaging Engineering will review the proposal and then provide

approval or rejection through the Global Packaging Portal.
Step 5:
Suppliers must ensure that all export shipments are made in accordance
to the Shipping & Consolidation Guidelines to achieve optimized cube
utilization in transportation (Chapter 7).
Step 6:
Complete final checklist to ensure that all steps have been covered
(Chapter 11)
At any given point of time Packaging Engineering can approach the
supplier to revise the packaging specification when needed (i.e. change
in mode of transportation).
Packaging costs must be identified and integrated as part of your piece
price at the quotation stage, and can only be agreed by Purchase (your
commodity buyer). Confirmation of a packaging specification form
advises that your packaging proposals are acceptable, and does not
infer or imply acceptance or agreement of any associated costs with that
packaging.
Before entering into Step 1 (Selecting the correct export carton) please consider the
following guidelines:

Page 5 of 47
4. DO's
DO ensure that you use modular cartons and pallets to the exact specification - this is a
fully integrated system that requires each element to meet its specification.
DO ensure that you utilize the maximum cube of the carton - if utilization is less than
95% try another IMC size or part orientation.
DO where rusting is a risk, use corrosion inhibiting materials; i.e. VCI products, etc. For
other components, where required, use the appropriate product quality enhancement
material; i.e. bubble wrap, static-proof bags, etc. Although Packaging Engineering will
advise, the responsibility for ensuring part protection remains with the supplier.
DO select reliable suppliers to provide cartons, pallets, and stickers. Ford has approved
companies that currently stock IMC boxes if you do not have a company to provide the
proper materials. Please contact Export Packaging Engineering to obtain contact
information.
DO monitor the effect of engineering changes on the packaging and submit a new
formal packaging proposal through GPP whenever the packaging changes.
DO inform Packaging Engineering using appropriate pack spec. form if your parts are
temperature sensitive. (Temperatures over 70 C can be reached during transport to
some destinations).
DO ensure your part labeling conforms to Ford Shipping Parts/Identification Label

Standard BAO-1122-L. The BAO-1122-L document is available through the FSP (Ford
Supplier Portal) and in addition ensure compliance with any labelling requirements of
the country in which the parts are to be delivered.
DO follow all applicable Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods Transportation

Regulations, including the OSHA and UN Hazard Communication Standards. Refer to
the EU1750 Packaging Terms & Conditions or the N.A. Packaging Guidelines for more
details. Adherence to transport regulations of hazardous material / dangerous goods is
legally mandated. Regional and / or national requirements must be followed.
DO use new part labels when shipping parts with new engineering level. Refer to the
regional packaging terms & condition documents for label details.
DO ensure that weight identification discs are fitted next to the IMC Number printing
and are clearly visible. Required disc size is approximately 50mm (2") in diameter.
Discs may be stickers or similar markings i.e. stamp, marker etc.
DO ensure that all cartons have the appropriate ISO-Modular Carton Number printed
approximately 50mm (2") high on two sides of the box. See Example:
IMC100
(ISO-Modular Carton Number) (Weight Identification Disc)
EXPORT 1750-Global
July 2016
GIS 1:26.06, C+12
Page 6 of 47
5. DO NOT
Do not use a carton that is not specified in Table 1 - no exceptions are permitted
without prior written approval from Packaging Engineering.
Do not forget to include the required IMC Number printing on two sides of the box and
do not ship on a Non-IMC pallet.
Do not design an open top IMC proposal. No open top containers are allowed.
Do not allow your product quality to be compromised due to inadequate packaging zero defect is the norm. If weight is an issue, suppliers are required to increase the
packaging strength requirements to ensure quality.
Do not pack different parts within the same carton - only one part number per carton is
allowed. Different part numbers, in separate IMC boxes, shipped on the same pallet
must be accompanied by a master packing label.
Do not use belly bands to strengthen IMC cartons. Excessively heavy unit loads require
the use of increased board strength, dunnage, or corner posts to ensure quality.
Do not use steel banding to secure loads - use plastic banding and/or stretch wrapping.
Do not allow cartons to overhang pallets. Ensure they are correctly stacked and
positioned. The appropriate use of banding and/or stretch wrap must be used as
needed.
Do not use staples for carton closure (top or bottom). Staples may damage both the
parts and the operators during the unload operation.
Do not ship pyramid loads whenever possible to prevent inbound transit damage.
Do not use packaging material that cannot be re-cycled, or could be environmentally

harmful after disposal.
Do not cut down or modify modular boxes. Example: do not cut side seams to make a
box smaller or insert an access panel unless approved by Ford Packaging Engineering.
Do not allow the maximum weight of a unit load including pallet base to exceed the
specified weight limit for the region (see section 6.1 for weight limits).

6. IMC EXPORT CARTON SELECTION PROCESS

Identify the most suitable carton from the Ford IMC container ranges (refer Table 1 in section
6.2) based on the following selection criteria:
Ford Motor Company has globalized the IMC carton standard in 2015. The previously
existing division into two different tables, dimensions and material specifications has been
eliminated and merged into a single table of IMC sizes and material specifications. For all
new packaging definitions use the global standard (see section 6.4 for more details).
1. Determine an approximate pack quantity based on part nature, FPS right sizing
principles, plant material handling requirement, line feed requirement data (if
available) and optimum part density in carton.
2. Determine whether the part requires any special expendable/durable packaging. If
required contact respective regional packaging engineer before finalizing your
packaging proposals.
** Note: MF&PE engineer to contact supplier when a deviation is required.
3. All standard IMC shipments must be shipped on the specified IMC Export Block Pallet
980mm x 1140mm (39" x 45") as shown in section 8. In case that the IMC carton size
exceeds the dimensions of the standard pallet then a special pallet with same foot
print size of the carton used is required .This special pallet must follow the same
construction principle as the standard pallets and must be suitable for the increased
weight and handling requirements.
4. Finally, all IMC unit loads must be adequately secured to the pallet. Manually
handable cartons (IMC010-IMC180) should be secured to the pallet base with a
minimum of four bands and/or the appropriate amount of stretch wrap. If stretch wrap
is used, be sure to make several rotations around the pallet base to prevent carton
movement in transit. Stapling unit load sized cartons to the pallet base in certain cases
is recommended to prevent movement in transit. If you want to staple the carton to
base pallet then please contact the regional packaging engineer before doing so.
5. If your parts are to be shipped by air freight directly from your manufacturing location,
the approved unit load packaging must be placed in a wood or corrugate over pack.
This requirement is to adequately protect it from air freight handling and in-transit
forces.
It is mandatory to maintain a minimum of 12mm thick wood overpack if it is plywood
and 15mm in case of Pine wood. However, wood used must comply with the
phytosanitary requirements in section 9 of this document.
6. Make best use of the carton cube utilization. Maximum carton weight depend on local
or regional ergonomic limits for handheld cartons. These limits are provided through
regional packaging.
7. For packaging within the Asia Pacific region apply color weight disc to outside of all
cartons. This color marking is not required for exports or within other regions, e.g.
North/South America, Europe:

IMC selection instructions and flowchart

Regional packaging terms and conditions documents contain container selection flowcharts,
which explain and include regional lineside inventory level requirements as well as
transportation requirements in regard to quantity of material within a carton. These
requirements differ between the regions due to variations in inventory level, inplant material
flow strategy and in region transport conditions. For instructions to select the optimized
carton size for your part, consult the regional packaging guidelines, e.g. EU1750 Packaging
Terms and Conditions, MFG1750NA Packaging Guidelines, 1750Br Packaging Guidelines,
1750AP Packaging Terms and Conditions.
a) The lineside inventory level requirements will be set and communicated by the Ford
Packaging engineer in conjunction with the receiving plant material flow engineers.
Note: Usual plant linside inventory level is 1h . Sometimes, smallest IMC may even carry
more than the required inventory level, which can be approved
b) Any deviation has to go through deviation process
c) If the packaging is carryover from other regions or from existing model for the same
market, the existing packaging will be followed

Important Notes:
-
It is accepable for IMCs 50 and higher to use stronger carton grades than those specified
assumed that regional/local carton material availability justifies this not affecting overall
carton cost.
Maximum weights per carton is equal to the weight of the loaded product plus the carton

ECT values in line with the TAPPI and ISO standard are not interchangeable due to
different test methods.
The fully detailed IMC Carton Specification is available as a complete file in the embedded
document. It is recommended to use this file when document is printed.

Required IMC board material specification:

Liners outside and inside Kraft with minimum 80% virgin material content
Mediums Semi Chemical with minimum 60% virgin material content
Adhesive Wet strength adhesives
The IMC carton material performance requirements have been designed as a global
specification. The specification has been designed to allow flexibility in material selection due
to global differences in standards and manufacturing practices. This change allows the use
of local or regional board without the need to import board. The change has been established
to keep cost for IMCs at the lowest possible level while maintaining the required material
specification. However, there may be circumstances where local sources are not capable of
manufacturing the required material specification. In such case Ford Motor Company expects
suppliers to obtain cartons or board that meet this specification from imported sources.
All IMC cartons have been engineered for stacking and to carry loads as indicated in Table 1
under the maximum weight per carton. To achieve this performance a Box Compression Test
(BCT) value has been established. To meet the BCT requirement a fluting combination and
minimum performance Edge Crush Test (ECT), Burst Strength and Puncture Resistance
value has been established. The ECT performance value has been specified in both the
Tappi and ISO standard due to differences in global standards.
When selecting the IMC carton material the board must meet one of the performance values
and fluting combinations indicated in Table 2. The performance must be either an ECT
(Tappi or ISO), Burst Strength, or Puncture Resistance value. For some cartons only one or
two performance values are available to select from. Carton vendors will assist you in
selecting the appropriate board material for IMCs from the material specification listing.

Maximum weights per carton is equal to the weight of the loaded product plus the carton tare
weight.
Carton tare weights are listed based on the average board paper weight combination /
material specification.
Notes:
1. All metallic hardware parts are to be packaged in standard IMC030 or quarter keg,
229mm x 229mm x 127mm (9in x 9in x 5in) cartons. Pallet dimensions should be 760mm
x 760mm x 127mm (30in x 30in x 5in) when using quarter keg cartons. Hardware parts
are: fasteners, screws, brackets, washers, nuts, clips, pins, studs etc. made out of metal.
2. Non-metallic hardware can be packed in a larger IMC carton, provided the carton gross
weight does not exceed the ergonomic limits for handheld cartons of the receiving region
and the carton volume has a minimum 95% part cube utilization. For ergonomic limits
refer to the regional packaging guidelines / terms and conditions.
3. Maximum weight of a unit load including the pallet base must not exceed 500kg (1,100lbs).
4. IMC unit loads are shipped in both standard and high cube ocean sea containers. Unit load
heights shall be selected to match the container dimensions. Maximum IMC unit load
height including base pallet must be in accordance with dimensions provided in chapter 7.
5. 'HC' (High Cube) IMC cartons are only to be used for high cube ISO containers.
6. RSC = Regular Slotted Carton, HSC = Half Slotted Carton, and FTD = Full Telescope
Design Style Rolled ends may be used on FTD cartons.
Examples for RSC, HSC carton styles:
RSC = Regular Slotted
HSC = Half Slotted Carton
FTD = Full Telescope Design

including lid
7. Suppliers must be aware that in cases where the appropriate carton materials to meet the
IMC specification is not available locally, Ford Motor Company expects that high quality
material such as US Kraft paper is purchased from international sources to meet the
specification.
8. Suppliers must make sure that the cardboard material used for IMC cartons meets the
requirements over the entire transport period. E.g. cardboard with a 100% recycling rate
may not meet the requirements under increased humidity conditions.

On boxes having a length of less than 254mm (10in) or a width less than 229mm (9in)
the BMC size can be reduced to no less than 50mm (2in).
The BMC must be printed on an outside surface of the carton. It is preferred the
certificate be printed on the carton side, but the carton bottom is acceptable.
Examples of a BMC stamp are shown below.
EXPORT 1750-Global

Page 18 of 47
The box markings have been introduced to support the maintenance of the IMC carton
quality standard and increased capabilities of standard compliance verification. All cartons
provided for packaging following the global IMC standard without appropriate markings will
be recognized as non-compliant and may be subject to quality follow up actions.
6.4 GLOBAL IMC STANDARD IMPLEMENTATION RULES

When IMC cartons have been defined and approved for production material packaging,
suppliers are required to use IMC cartons that comply with the entire standard. This includes
not only the carton dimensions, but all parameters such as cardboard quality, pallet design,
markings, box strength, etc. Failure to comply with one or more parameters of this standard
will lead to quality follow up actions.
The IMC carton codes are also used to specify the packaging in Ford CMMS3 for the DAIA
packaging definition and ASNs. Please note that the carton codes must be used as shown in
table 1 e.g. <IMCxxx> without any blanks or other characters in between.
IMC cartons are primarily purchased by Fords production material suppliers for export
market packaging. Production material supply contracts between Ford and suppliers are
based on the Global Terms and Conditions and this Web Guide at the time of the contractual
agreement.
This new global IMC standard applies to all export packaging specification GPP submissions
from July 1, 2015 forward.This carton material specification therefore only applies to new
sourcing. It is therefore likely that material suppliers will continue to order IMC packaging
material in line with carry over packaging specifications.
Nevertheless suppliers may also adapt to the new global IMC standard at this time for their
current packaging providing they obtain approval from Ford Packaging Engineering of the
receiving country. Suppliers are encouraged and expected to adapt the new IMC
specification for existing part-packaging specifications when requested by the Ford
packaging engineer.
6.5 INTERIOR PACKAGING AND DUNNAGE

Parts are exposed to several risks during transportation. Part protection may require the use
of interior packaging in conjunction with IMC cartons. Additional interior packaging can be
used to provide protection to the part and to increase the total strength of the carton and unit
load. Use of interior packaging in substitution of the required IMC carton material
specification is not acceptable.
Interior and additional part packaging may be required to protect the part from quality
deterioration, such as humidity, moisture, water, electrostatic discharge etc. In particular
electronic circuit components may require further protection measures. Suppliers are
expected to specify such protection requirements in line with their part quality obligations.
The preferred material for interior packaging is cardboard for recycling and cost reasons.
However when part protection requires an alternative interior packaging media other
materials are acceptable providing they can be recycled. Contact your FMC Packaging
Engineer for acceptable alternative interior packaging material.

7. UNIT LOAD CONSOLIDATION AND SHIPPING

GUIDELINES
Once the optimum export carton has been selected and is approved for your part - it is
critical that you prepare and consolidate the cartons in the correct manner for shipment:
1. Unit loads must be constructed in accordance with the guidelines in section 6
2. Pallet bases must conform to the specification in section 8.
3. The following general shipping guidelines must also be adhered to:
Each carton must at least be labeled with Ford standard shipping part number labels in
line with BAO-1122-L on two adjacent sides. For IMC cartons where height is less than
120mm (4.75) the chosen label data format must be used but the label must be reduced
to fit onto the side of the carton.
Maximum height of any unit load must not exceed 1100mm (43") - 1270mm (50in.) for
HC-High Cube unit loads unless approved by Packaging Engineering. Reference section
6 to determine the appropriate maximum quantity of IMC boxes allowed on a pallet.
If you supply more than one part number to Export Markets, mixed loads of various
cartons on a single pallet is permissible to achieve a complete unit load.
Carton flaps must be completely sealed with tape or spot gluing. Kraft paper tape is
preferred over plastic tape to assist in carton recyclability.
All modular carton loads must be secured to the pallet with plastic banding and/or clear
plastic stretch wrap. A minimum of, four bands are highly recommended to avoid carton
shifting during transit. For safety reasons, under no circumstances should steel banding
be used. If stretch wrap is used, several rotations around the base of the pallet are
required to avoid carton shifting.
If you supply more than one part number to Export Markets, mixed loads of various
cartons on a single pallet are permissible to achieve a realistic unit load, provided they
are for the same plant destination.
When shipping mixed loads on a single pallet ensure that the heavy load cartons are
positioned on the pallet first with the lighter load cartons on the top.
All IMC Unit Loads of the same weight or less are designed for double stacking for
overseas shipments and warehousing purpose (Exception: IMC197/IMC197HC must be
designed to stack three high in an ISO container). Any deviation for stackability of your
proposed GPP packaging specification requires approval from the Ford packaging
engineer. For approved deviations stacking symbol MASTER label or printing is required
to be placed on four sides of the unit load. Symbols indicating a reduced stackability
without an approved GPP packaging specification is not acceptable.

7.2 UNIT LOAD LABELLING

For appropriate part identification when packed, it is required that IMC cartons and any other
export packaging is labelled conforming to Ford Shipping Parts/Identification Label Standard
BAO-1122-L. Samples of shipping labels full A5 size format and semi A5 format for use with
small IMC sizes (not to scale):
For more details please reference the BAO1122-L standard, which is available on the Ford
Supplier Portal.
Example of A5 Packaging label
Standard for Ford labels; Example of

half-A5 Packaging label
2 Labels have to be placed on IMC unit loads on two adjacent sides to allow identification of
material in loaded/stacked position. Do not place labels on top of unit loads as part
identification will be obstructed. See and adhere to the following example.
Master/Unit Load labels

9. PHYTOSANITARY AND PACKAGING MATERIAL

SELECTION
Phytosanitary principles are about the protection of plants, including cultivated and noncultivated/unmanaged plants, wild flora and aquatic plants. For companies that move product
across international borders, these principles include the application of phytosanitary
measures to commodities and conveyances. These principles are embodied in the
International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and elaborated in its International
Standards for Phytosanitary Measures.
Phytosanitary measures apply to all shipments for any reason.
Wood Packaging Material
For Wood Packaging Material (WPM) used in shipping product for export, International
Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) 15), Regulation of Wood Packaging Material
in International Trade is the governing standard.
Supplier's wooden packaging must comply with the ISPM 15 standards when packing
material for shipments to all export countries. Suppliers must investigate all phytosanitary
requirements and comply with any additional regulation that is specific to the country they are
shipping to.
Key Points
These regulations also affect emergency expendable shipments, so even if you are
currently using durable, you also need to comply with your emergency shipments with
Phytosanitary rules.
Treated wood packaging material must be marked with an official stamp identifying the
type of treatment used (DB-HT or DB-MB), the ISO country code where applied e.g. GB,
DE etc. and the registration number of the body which applied it. (See sample mark and
definition of terms using links provided below). The wood packaging supplier is
responsible for marking.
Please note that the label should be outlined with border, as this is a mandatory
requirement for certain regions (see below acceptable examples).
The treatment and marking requirements will not apply to WPM comprised wholly of
processed wood such as plywood, fiberboard or similar products prepared using hightemperature, high-pressure process. Please note, however, that WPM such as this is
still susceptible to infection post-production if handled or stored improperly.
Note: Heat treating pallets with steam is not an acceptable process for ISPM15
compliance.
ISPM 15-compliant packaging material must be used only once. Do not re-use this
material or store for extended periods as material will lose its Phytosanitary properties.
EXPORT 1750-Global
July 2016
GIS 1:26.06, C+12
Page 27 of 47
Examples of acceptable ISPM 15 Markings
Additional Phytosanitary Measures Applicable for Shipments

Phytosanitary measures cover more than just the marking of WPM. The measures also cover
the introduction of pests (e.g. wood boring insects, mites, arachnids, seeds, seed pods,
snails, mollusks, fungus) into export shipments or conveyances utilized in international
trade. This could be pests on packaging material of any construction and type (plastic, steel
including properly treated WPM) or in conveyances.
Importing countries have laws and regulations covering regulated pests. Shipments can and
will be stopped at the border and possibly returned to the origin if pests are found.
Ford may audit any shipments. Failure to send shipments that meet Phytosanitary standards
or with compliant packaging will result in demerit points issued against your supplier
performance rating. Non compliance will result in rejection of your material. All cost
associated with the rejection of material and / or repacking will be charged to you.
Ford may require custom pallet specifications to specific regions to enforce supplier
compliance to Phytosanitary requirements. Such pallet specifications are issued separately
from this document and must be followed accordingly.

10. CORROSION PREVENTION OVERVIEW

Parts for export markets are more exposed to corrosion risks than domestic shipments.
Corrosion can be caused by various circumstances, which may have no direct influence or
obvious impact.
Due to long shipping and staging times and extreme variations in both temperatures and
humidity, parts for export markets have a higher risk of corrosion than domestic shipments.
Environmental conditions can play a critical role in the manifestation of corrosion by
accelerating any caustic elements on the part surface. Thus, it is critical the appropriate
measures be considered when developing a corrosion inhibiting system for export
shipments. Corrosion can be caused by various circumstances, many of which are inherent
to manufacturing, handling and shipping processes.
Corrosion inhibiting materials, such as VCI, must be used where rusting and corrosion is a
risk. When developing a corrosion inhibiting system for your components, it is recommend
the following measures be considered: component material properties (ferrous steel, etc.),
part surface cleanliness and dryness (pack only dry and clean parts), part temperature (if
possible, look to insure parts are ambient temperature before packaging), handling process
(wear clean, lint free gloves when handling parts) and environmental conditions of the supply
chain (temperature, humidity, volatility of climate conditions, storage conditions,
transportation mode, etc.). Look to prevent part to wood, paper or corrugate contact to
prevent acidic contamination that can cause corrosion.
Suppliers who are in need for support to establish the appropriate corrosion protection
method may address a third party who specializes in corrosion management/protection
products and services, or their Ford packaging engineer. Some regions can provide an
awareness guide for corrosion protection, which can give you an introduction to this subject
but you have to consider:
The selection of best suited corrosion prevention method for ensuring component quality
until the point of use remains with you - the supplier of the product.

Attachment "A": Frequently Asked Questions
1. IMC - General Requirements

Why are IMCs required for export shipments? The Ford IMC world wide export-packaging
standard is required for all shipments that cross the ocean on ISO-Sea Containers in order to
standardize consolidation packaging methods, maintain quality, maximize freight cube
utilization, and to ensure that packaging is acceptable and adaptable to local market
conditions.
What are the key IMC requirements? Outside carton dimensions must conform to the Ford
specified IMC sizes, IMC number printed on two sides of carton, IMC block pallet, IMC
cartons must comply with the material parameters as per Table 1 and 2 in section 6.1.
Outside carton dimensions
(L x W x H) must conform
to the Ford specified IMC
Sizes to allow unit load
cubing using boxes from
any supplier.
IM C
IM C

IMC specified block

pallet design provides a
"picture frame bottom" to
evenly distribute weight
of pallet along the
perimeter of the cartons
to fully utilize carton
strength.
IM
0
C13
Colored weight discs are

applied to two sides of the
carton to notify operators
how much weight is in each
box.
Who is responsible for implementing IMC packaging? It is the supplier's responsibility to

work with their corrugated box and pallet sources to develop packaging, including interior
dunnage, that will provide adequate strength, allow safe handling, and ensure product quality
to the point of use.
Which export destinations require IMC packaging? All overseas shipments require IMC
packaging.
How do I obtain updated copies of the latest IMC documentation? Go to: Covisint

Attachment "A": Frequently Asked Questions (Continued)
2. Quality Supplier Performance Deductions, QRR

Why did I receive supplier delivery performance demerits for packaging? Ford
packaging engineers will issue Supplier Delivery Performance Deductions through Super-G
(www.superg.ford.com) to export suppliers if your company's material does not comply with
the IMC specifications. Common Non-Conformance material includes: Non-IMC sizes, No
IMC printing, No IMC pallet, collapsed loads with too much weight that require additional
strength, and open-top pallet box containers that do not allow stackability within the ISO-Sea
container.
Can the Supplier Delivery Performance Demerits be rescinded? Once demerits have
been issue by Ford Supplier Performance they can not be removed without clear evidence
that supplier is not responsible for the concern.
Why did our company receive a QRR (North American supplied parts only)? A QRR is
a quality concern report generated by the affiliates in the export country. QRR's are quality
concerns raised against parts that were damaged during transit. Typically packaging related
QRR's are a result of Non-IMC packaging, collapsed loads, inadequate dunnage, etc.
Suppliers that receive packaging related QRR's are required to work with Ford Packaging
Engineering and Ford IEO Quality to determine the root cause of the problem and revise
their export packaging as needed. Remember, it is the supplier's responsibility to design
export packaging to ensure quality to the end point of use.
Why did our company receive QR2 (Parts supplied to Asia Pacific Plants)? QR2 is a
quality concern report generated by the receiving plant. This concern is also raised for parts
that got damaged during transit due to inadequate packaging. QR2 may be issued because
of carton not meeting IMC specification, non-standard pallets (non-perimeter base),
insufficient rust protection, inadequate internal dunnage design, etc. Suppliers who receive
QR2 are required to work with Ford Packaging Engineering to determine the root cause of
the problem and revise their export packaging as needed. Remember it is suppliers
responsibility to design export packaging to ensure part quality till the end point of use.
3. Dunnage, Pallets, Box Strength, Quantities

What dunnage (corner posts, cell dividers, bags, foam, VCI, etc) is required? It is the
suppliers' responsibility to determine the appropriate dunnage needed to ensure quality.
Can I use alternative pallet materials, designs, or sizes? No, all pallets must be made of
wood. Corrugated and plastic pallets are not allowed for export shipments. All standard IMC
sizes must be shipped on the IMC 1140x980x127mm; 39" x 45" x 5" block pallet or the other
pallet dimensions as specified in chapter 8 for 400 series IMCs, and must meet the
International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) ISPM15 specification; Go to the web sites
indicated in the document for details.
Are IMC pallets required if I'm only shipping a few boxes? Yes, all shipments made to
the export consolidator are required to ship on the IMC specified block pallet.
EXPORT 1750-Global
July 2016
GIS 1:26.06, C+12
Page 33 of 47

How do I determine an appropriate standard carton quantity? Standard packaging
quantities need to be established based on the following principles: annual estimated volume
for the program, line feed requirements, FPS right sizing principles, weight limit
requirements, and optimum carton density rather than a specific quantity limit.
What if our parts are too heavy for the standard IMC boxes? Suppliers that exceed the
Ford Packaging Engineering recommended weight limits are required to add additional
strength to the carton in terms of increased board grade, corrugated box design, dunnage, or
corner posts, etc. Remember, the responsibility for ensuring component quality from your
plant to the point of use remains with you the supplier of the product. It is the suppliers'
responsibility to work with their corrugators to determine the appropriate packaging strengths
to apply to IMC boxes. If board grade is increased (i.e. from double wall to triple wall)
remember that the outside dimensions must continue to meet the IMC specified dimensions.
In other words, as board grade increases, the inside dimensions will decrease while the
outside dimensions must stay the same. Please also ensure that the stackability
requirements (as per section 7) are met.
What if I can't achieve 95% cube utilization within the carton? Ford Packaging
Engineering understands that dictated carton sizes do not accommodate all parts. If you are
having trouble selecting an IMC pack that optimizes density please contact Ford Packaging
Engineering. Digital photos of your part, current packaging, and proposed packaging are
often required for Ford to evaluate your situation.
What if my export releases have large fluctuations? Since there are often large
fluctuations in release quantities for export part-by-part programs, IMC standard pack
quantities need to be defined to accommodate your average export release quantity.
Once a standard pack quantity is defined, what if I get an order for fewer pieces? Once
a standard pack is defined, all shipments must be made to accommodate a minimum of one
carton. In case of any phase out or pre build shipment the release quantity may be less than
the carton pack quantity and needs to be shipped as per release.
What if my unit load quantity exceeds the average weekly requirements? Your
packaging specification must be submitted based on a full unit load quantity. However, your
release quantity will be in either carton, layer or unit load quantities.
4. IMC Printing, Weight Discs

Why do I have to print the IMC number on the box? The IMC number is used by Ford
consolidation centers to sort IMC and Non-IMC material. The number is then used to
determine the appropriate cubing method to apply when building up unit loads.
What happens if the IMC number is not printed on the box? Export consolidator will not
recognize your box as IMC compliant. The box will then be placed in a one-way expendable
crate to ensure quality. The crating process may then trigger a supplier performance demerit.
EXPORT 1750-Global
July 2016
GIS 1:26.06, C+12
Page 34 of 47

Should the IMC number be on adjacent or opposite sides? Either is acceptable. Most
suppliers print on opposite sides of the box along the length panel of the box. It is
recommended to print the carton markings on the largest carton side to allow printing in
appropriate size.
How large does the IMC printing have to be? The size of the printing depends on the IMC
box number used. Typically the printing is around 2"/50 mm high. However, smaller boxes
such as the IMC010 use smaller printing. It is important that the printing is located in the
center of the box to avoid being covered up by labeling and to make sure it is highly visible
for the consolidation center operators.
What are the Weight Disc specifications? Weight Discs like the IMC printing are usually
around 2"/50 mm. Slightly smaller or larger discs (1"/25mm-3"/76 mm) are also acceptable.
Are Weight Discs required for unit load sized boxes (IMC190 and above)? No. Weight
Discs are only required for IMC100 through IMC190 cartons
5. Packaging Data - GPP, CMMS3

What is the purpose of submitting a GPP input? The data is used by Ford Packaging
engineering to evaluate if your proposed dimensions and weights are in line with the IMC
strategy. If these characteristics are in line with the guidelines "provisional or final approval"
will be granted.
Which container codes do I need to use for my GPP packaging proposal input? For
standard IMC types as listed in table 1 strictly the given CMMS3 container codes must be
used for your GPP input. For special IMC carton type and only for those use the code COP.
If Ford approved my packaging specification and it fails during implementation is it
Ford's responsibility? No, approval means that Ford Packaging Engineering agrees that
your export packaging proposal meets Ford box dimensions and weight limit requirements. It
is the suppliers' responsibility to ensure that the appropriate board grades, dunnage,
corrosion protection, etc is implemented to ensure quality.
Do I need to input my packaging data into CMMS? Suppliers do not input packaging data
into CMMS. Ford Motor Company is responsible for maintaining and inputting all packaging
data in CMMS.
Who do I contact if I have questions regarding CMMS? Contact your Supply Chain
Follow-up Analyst
6. Packaging Performance Testing

Is IMC packaging testing required prior to implementation? Testing is only required as
needed. Unless otherwise directed by Ford it is up you, the supplier, to determine the amount
and types of testing that will be needed to ensure quality shipments to export markets.
EXPORT 1750-Global
July 2016
GIS 1:26.06, C+12
Page 35 of 47

How do I conduct testing? As the supplier, you are the expert on your specific parts
sensitive features. It is up to the supplier to determine the appropriate testing methods and
work with your preferred testing labs to adequately test export packaging for ocean
shipments as needed.
7. Trial Shipments
How should I conduct a trial shipment? Ford Packaging Engineering highly recommends
that any trial shipment be shipped in accordance to your export releases. It is not
recommended that you ship material to the export consolidator that does not satisfy a current
release. If you conduct a trail shipment, be sure to contact Ford Packaging Engineering.
Failure to contact the appropriate engineer will result in your package flowing through the
transportation network without inspection.
8. IMC Special Case Design

What if all IMC sizes dont accommodate my part, when is a Special Case IMC
allowed? Special Case ISO-Modular Cartons are only allowed when none of the IMC sizes
will meet the unique needs of a specific part. Special Case ISO-Modular Cartons are
required to follow the same requirements stated in the guidelines with the exception of the
outside carton dimensions, corrugated printing and the appropriate pallet size.
How do I design an optimum Special Case IMC? Special case cartons are designed by
altering required ISO-Modular Carton dimensions to meet the needs of specific parts.
Remember, the primary objective of the IMC program is to facilitate direct material loading
into the ISO-Sea container. This means that you must select the appropriate packaging
material and dimensions to ensure stackability within the ISO-Sea container. The 45" (or
90") width is the most critical dimension due to the fact that the width dimension of an ISOSea Container is 90". This dimension must be held in order to load cartons side by side in
an ISO-Sea Container. The 43"/1100mm maximum unit load height is second critical
dimension because of the ISO-Sea Container usable opening of 86". The length is least
critical dimension is of the carton. Try to design the length as close to 38, 51, 57, 66, 77,
and 89 as possible. All Special Case IMC Sizes must be approved by Ford Export
Packaging Engineering.
Are IMC-Special Case cartons only allowed as unit load sized cartons? Typically, Yes.
Most IMC-Special-Case designs involve unit load scenarios. Deviating small carton
dimensions, causes the entire "modular" theory of the IMC strategy to become void. The
only way a small carton dimension such as the height could be approved, as a special case
design would be if the release quantities were always in full layer quantities or full unit load
quantities.
Can I simply label my current packaging as IMC-Special Case? Absolutely NOT!
Unless packaging engineering approves a special case design, it will not be acceptable.
Inappropriately labeled cartons will be subject to Supplier Performance Demerits.
Are Weight Discs required for unit load sized IMC-Special Case designs? No, Weight
Discs are only required for manually handable cartons.
EXPORT 1750-Global
July 2016
GIS 1:26.06, C+12
Page 36 of 47

What are the IMC Special Case Printing requirements? IMC cartons need to be labeled
with the appropriate IMC number. Any Special Case cartons must substitute the required
ISO-Modular Carton Number with the letters "SC" (Special Case). Example: IMC*** to IMCSC. Data entrys in GPP for Special Case IMCs has to be COP.
Do my IMC-SC IMC-Special Cartons must follow the same marking requirements as
specified in chapter 6.2 (box maker stamp)? Clear Yes. This will help Export Distribution
Centers to handle these cartons safely and appropriately.
9. Special Packaging Design

What if my parts require packaging other than corrugated carton?: If your part requires
special packaging please contact your Ford Packaging Engineer to discuss and select
another alternative (e.g. returnable container, expendable steel rack, wood crate, etc). If the
alternative pack requires a different commercial agreement this must be approved by the
Ford Buyer prior to packaging approval.
10. Commercial Issues

Is there a Ford preferred source to procure IMC boxes and pallets? There are
specialized packaging companies who can provide you with IMC standard cartons, IMC
special case cartons, pallets and accessories for your packaging. Contacts for some of these
packaging companies can be found in the attachment.
Is there a Ford preferred source to procure VCI for Rust sensitive parts? There are
specialized packaging companies who can provide you corrosion prevention materials and
corrosion management expertise. Some company contacts can be found in the attachment
What if there are commercial issues regarding implementation of IMCs? All commercial
issues must be handled through your designated Ford buyer. The IMC program has the
support of Ford Purchasing management worldwide.
How do I manage different Packaging for different locations? This is a supplier issue
that must be handled internally. Your company needs to recognize different packaging
requirements based on the ship to location even if the Ford part number is the same.
Suppliers are encouraged to contact their Ford packaging engineers to discuss solutions for
common packaging if applicable.
Will Ford assign separate part numbers? No. Ford will not assign different part numbers
because of different packaging requirements for different locations. It is up to the supplier to
handle this requirement internally.
