Freight document library

Every shipping document Nordic Pirates has produced or received, as working examples. Use these as the pattern for new shipments rather than starting from scratch. Prepared 9 September 2026.

The files themselves are attached to the email that carries this link, and they are stored in the company document library. The filenames below match the attachments.

Lacey Act (PPQ 505)

Required for every US import because our boxes contain paper, cardboard and wooden parts. The factory fills Section 2 only. The broker fills Section 1 and files it electronically.

Factory original, shipment 5202112330 KB

Sunny at BODA filled Section 2: paper and cardboard 5,651.81 kg at 80% recycled, wooden tokens 61.79 kg. Section 1 left blank and unsigned - that half belongs to the broker.

The version the broker accepted395 KB

This is the wording standard. Full scientific species name, and weights for THIS shipment only, not the whole container. The broker rejected two earlier versions: one said 'Birch', one said 'Betula spp.' Neither passes.

Bill of lading

Issued by the freight forwarder once the goods are booked. We do not write these, we receive them.

Commercial invoices

Two kinds. The factory writes one when they sell to us. We write our own when we move our own stock between warehouses.

Who to ask, and when

Most answers come from Sunny Ma at BODA Games. This is the order things happen in.

1

Before the goods leave the factory

Ask: Sunny Ma at BODA Games ([email protected])

  • Commercial invoice with unit values for every item in the shipment
  • Packing list: carton by carton, contents, weight, dimensions
  • Lacey Section 2: how many kg of paper or cardboard, how many kg of wood, the recycled percentage of the paperboard, and the full scientific species name of any wood
  • Product test reports if the destination asks for them
2

Once the booking is made

Ask: The freight forwarder

  • Bill of lading
  • Estimated arrival date and container number if it is going to the US, because the broker needs both for Lacey Section 1
3

Before US arrival

Ask: The customs broker

  • They fill Lacey Section 1 and file it electronically
  • They need our commercial invoice, packing list, and the Lacey Section 2 data from the factory
4

If something is rejected

Ask: Back to Sunny at BODA

  • A rejected Lacey is almost always the species name or the weights
  • Species must be two Latin words. Never a common name like 'birch', never 'spp.'
  • Weights must cover only what is in this shipment, not the whole original container

What is missing

The safety test reports above cover the 2025 production run. The Drive folder for Lying Pirates & Tap10 2026 is empty, so the current run has no test reports on file yet. If a buyer, a retailer or a customs authority asks for testing on 2026 stock, request it from Sunny at BODA before you promise a date - lab testing takes weeks, not days.
