Dear Valued Client
1.China Golden Week
The Golden Week in China is fast approaching whereby main offices and services will be closed for their national holiday from 1st – 7th October 2024. We urge all clients to please plan their orders in advance.
2.Airline Cargo Accuracy
Most airlines are charging and penalising for no-shows, under or over weighted cargo that has been booked. It has become critical that accurate specs are provided by shippers at time of booking and delivery cut off times are honoured to avoid airline penalties.
Airlines have also introduced a weight and volumetric concept that increases the rate per kg if the cargo falls outside of the tolerance compared to what has been booked. This is another risk as the airlines endeavour to capitalize on maximum loads per flight and penalize the agents for providing inaccurate weights and dimensions when the booking is made. It is therefore more important than ever to provide accurate booking information, including whether cargo is stackable or not.
An additional reminder that cargo must be properly packed to withstand the perils of airfreight.
• Marked and labelled with the shipper and consignee details
• All documents must be in order and in a ready-for-carriage state
• The onus is on the shipper, consignee, or owner to ensure that the goods are insured
• Any dangerous or hazardous cargo is declared at the time of the booking
