  <li><strong>Standard Lead Sheet:</strong> The industry-standard barcode sheet containing the Trip Number and essential conveyance details. Perfect for high-volume carriers with standard loads.</li>
  <li><strong>Detailed Lead Sheet:</strong> Includes a comprehensive breakdown of all shipments associated with the trip. This is highly recommended for LTL (Less-than-Truckload) carriers who may need to verify individual PAPS numbers for the officer.</li>
  <li><strong>QR Code Format:</strong> The most modern iteration, utilizing high-density QR codes for faster scanning. This format is increasingly preferred at major ports of entry as it is more resilient to printing smudges and easier for handheld scanners to read.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Pro Tip: Digital Copies</h3>
