Misdeclaration includes but is not limited to incorrect/partial declaration, late declaration, alteration or omission of such declaration.
In addition to this charge, we wish to highlight that amongst others, the shipper and consignee will be held liable and responsible for all corrective measures, claims, fines, liabilities, losses, delays, damages or expenses arising in consequence of such misdeclaration. Please also refer to MELL’s bill of lading terms and conditions.
Please note that failure to properly declare cargo weight constitutes a breach of contract which violates the applicable law, endangers lives and adversely affects the operations of the entire supply chain.
