B. Useful Notes

Goods damaged or missing while taking delivery

  • When you accept delivery, the goods and/or carrying container(s), as well as container seals should be externally examined at the site. If there are visible signs of damage, do not sign a clean receipt. You should note any visible or likely damage on the receipt and immediately inform the carriers in writing of their liability. You should then advise your insurance agent, broker, us, or the surveyor named in the insurance certificate, and provide copies of cargo receipts, loss notifications, and correspondence between you and the carrier and/or the carrier's agents.
  • Goods that have been delivered without any apparent external irregularities should be unpacked as soon as possible and you should check for any concealed loss or damage. If loss or damage is discovered, document this, if possible, with digital photographs. Retain all shipping containers and packing materials for later inspection and documentation.
  • If your claim involves water damage, you and/or the consignee should separate the damaged goods from the undamaged goods as soon as possible to prevent further water damage.
  • Should an entire package go missing, the delivery receipt must be marked accordingly. Also, secure other substantiating evidence from the forwarder or carrier and inform them in writing without delay, of the loss. Include in this communication your intention to hold the forwarder or carrier liable for the loss. Do not sign a clean receipt if there are any irregularities or suspected irregularities. If you are required to sign a receipt, clearly describe the irregularities in writing on the receipt next to your signature.
  • If damage or loss occurs during the transit, a claim letter should be filed. Written notice of loss should be given to carrier or forwarder or carrier's local representative within 3 days (by sea) or 14 days (by air) of cargo delivery.
  • At all times, it is your duty to take reasonable measures to avert or minimize loss amount and to ensure that all rights against carriers, bailees or other third party are properly preserved and exercised.

Appointment of surveyors

  • If the loss amount does not exceed US$2,000, no survey is necessary. You need to only provide photographs that demonstrate the severity and extent of the damage. Be sure your photographs record both the external damage to the packaging and the interior damage to the cargo.
  • When the loss amount (as opposed to the affected cargo value) exceeds US$2,000, a survey is necessary. Please report such damage to our office without delay. We will assign a surveyor and pay the survey fee.
