Mis-declaration of Cargo
Dear Customers:
Safety in cargo transportation is of company's paramount concern. Recently, we found some mis-description of cargo nature from General Cargo (GC) to Hazardous cargo (DG). We would like to remind you that once cargo nature is found to be mis-declared, the shipper or its agent shall be responsible for the mis-declaration fee as per our tariff rule. Any expense incurred for the inspection and or any customs penalty for such mis-declaration shall be on account of cargo. Shipper or its agent shall be further indemnify and hold OOCL harmless from and against all loss, damage, expense, actions and claims for injury to or death of persons and damage to property arising out of such mis-description.
With effect from Aug 17, 2012, the additional liquidated damage for hazardous cargo misdeclaration will be adjusted to USD10,000 per container.
We would like to have your attention on the importance of clear and accurate shipping information with cargo nature as declared by the shipper or its agents, must be provided to OOCL at time of booking as all DG cargoes are subject to ship owner's approval before cargo receipt.
Should you have any queries, please feel free to email or contact our customer service department.
