You will be prompted to add content descriptions during Step 3 of the booking.  This information is required for security purposes.  To do this, please select Fill in Content Descriptions.  A popup will appear and on the right side there is a highlighted field titled Description.  You may use our list of commodity descriptions or begin typing the name of your items and a list will appear.  Select a value and click Save.  If your shipment has pieces of different dimensions, you will have to input a description for each set of unique shipment dimensions.
