French term or phrase: Réception: Container
From a contract for storing hazardous materials in a warehouse. This section specifies the terms of what will be stored and how. It gives the following information:

PRODUITS: Classé solide inflammable 4.1
CONDITIONNEMENT: Palettes
QUANTITES: 400 Palettes

CARACTERISTIQUES: Réception: Containers
Expédition: Route

My question is about "réception". Am I correct in understanding it as meaning the warehouse will receive the goods in containers, and, if so, is "receipt" a correct translation? Thanks in advance!

I would just keep "container" in the singular and the overall context is in short form so "Receipt" would do per se

agree  Jennifer Levey: Or 'containerized', meaning 'in one or more container(s)' which nicely side-steps the sing. and pl. issue.
