Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Contract terms

And to make matters worse... in Spain (at least in conversation) they call all of of these "albarán":
delivery note/despatch advice/packing slip/packing list/manifest... etc

It may indeed be US vs UK... I've never seen "delivery note" in US English...
Christopher Lane May 12, 2009:
There is probably a language difference here between UK English and the US kind.
A packing list (lista de empaque)as I understand it, is a document, signed by a company official and visaed at the consulate, which accompanies the invoice and is exchanged for settlement of the L/C. The Delivery note (remito) accompanies the goods from the warehouse to the docks or vice versa and is signedby the port gate or factory entrance.

consignment (remesas)

Neil, I may be way off but I think it's a mistake and should be remesas. In the IATE, one translation is consignment. It appears 2x, one with 3 stars and the other with two.

This is from Argentina - a word unto itself - I reckon it means delivery note :-)

Haven't seen either "delivery note" or "dispatch advice" here... It's a list accompanying the goods describing what's in the box, so to speak...
Note from asker:
So it's a synonym of delivery note or despatch advice?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Christopher Lane : Packing List tells what is inside the package. You don't normally sign the Packing List
