Large Volume Print Post Lodgements - ULD

When Australia Post is used to linehaul articles, the articles are contained in Unit Load Devices (ULDs). To facilitate the charging of the ULD transport a ULD Supporting Document/Linehaul Mailing Statement is required. This records the number of ULDs for each destination mail centre, as shown in this example.
