Correct commodities for Regulated Trade shipments
It is well known in the shipping industry that the FMC regulations require that a shipping line duly files the rate agreed with the customer, and this prior to the shipping line taking receipt of the cargo.
Additionally , we would like to ask the support of our customers to supply us with the most detailed commodity description possible when booking their valued cargo with us.
Generic descriptions like “Cargo /machinery/foodstuff and chemicals nos” should not be used as commodity description, but the description that ‘most accurately’ fits the commodity must be given.
This to avoid any FMC rejections and delays in the process of releasing the empties to our customers.
