Where should any special markings (other than classification level) be written on a classified package?

• A. Outer wrapping
• B. Inner wrapping
• C. Both inner and outer
• D. Not required

Answer: (B)

Special markings beyond the classification level should be placed on the inner wrapping so that only authorized recipients who access the contents see them. The outer wrapping is kept minimal, showing only what’s needed for transport and classification, while sensitive handling instructions or other markings are concealed inside to prevent exposing them to unauthorized personnel during transit. This approach helps maintain security and control over who can access and interpret the handling details.
