Inspection
Before loading, right where the goods are
During pre-shipment inspection, quantity, model, serial numbers, labels, packaging and loading are recorded with photos. If the buyer requests it, an independent inspection company's report is added to the contract and included in the payment documents.
Insurance
Cargo insurance
Under CIF and CIP, insurance is the seller's obligation; for other delivery terms we also recommend a policy based on the value of the cargo. The scope of cover, insured amount and claims procedure are set out in the contract.
Dangerous goods
Lithium batteries, accumulators, paints and some chemicals are classified as dangerous goods. For these products, the UN number, packing group and the carrier's acceptance conditions are confirmed before loading; IMDG rules apply by sea, IATA DGR by air and ADR by road.
