When the equipment is received, unpack and inspect the contents of the shipping container(s).
Use the packing list to verify that all products, accessories, software (if applicable), and
documentation are received intact and in the correct quantity. The shipping container(s) and
contents should be inspected within a few days of receipt in the event damage or loss has
occurred. Sort through all packing material before declaring missing equipment or parts.

ment is complete. All shipping containers where equipment is to be declared as dam-
aged or lost must be examined by the claims investigator prior to completion of the
