Except as otherwise provided, rates and charges named in this Tariff do
NOT include marine or any other cargo insurance maintained for the
benefit of the cargo, NOR do they include any Consular or Customs
Duties, Fees or Clearance Charges.
1. CONSULAR AND/OR CUSTOMS DUTIES & FEES:
a. The Shipper and Consignee shall be and will remain severally and
jointly liable for all Consular and/or Customs Duties and/or Fees,
along with all Customs Clearance Charges assessed upon the arrival
of the cargo at destination or POD. Cargo which cannot be cleared
through Customs for any reason whatsoever, will be stored and/or
warehoused by the Carrier at the risk and expense of the cargo,
OR, returned to origin upon Shipper's instructions, OR, turned
over to Customs Authorities without any further responsibility or
liability on the part of the Carrier.
b. Any damage, deterioration or loss of cargo, and any fine imposed
by Customs Authorities or other legal authorities at destination,
as a result of Shipper's, Consignee's or their authorized Agent's
failure to comply with Customs or Consular regulations or
requirements, or as a result of any errors or omissions in
documentation or shipping information/instructions supplied to
Carrier, shall be for the account of the cargo.
2. MARINE CARGO INSURANCE: Rates and charges named in this Tariff do NOT
include Cargo Insurance. However, Deluxe Freight shall apply marine
cargo insurance coverage to all of its customers shipments in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Tariff and Deluxe
Freight s Bill of Lading, as specified in Deluxe's Open Policy, unless
such coverage is declined prior to shipment in written shipping
instructions (i.e. Shipper s Letter of Instruction) or if a signed
waiver form has been provided by customer at any time prior to a
customer taking possession of its shipment at final destination. The
premium cost for marine cargo insurance coverage shall be clearly
itemized on the face of all Deluxe's Bills of Lading.
Insurance premiums are calculated, in part, on invoice value of cargo.
Should shipper not provide the invoice value of the cargo at the time of
shipment, Carrier shall base the invoice value on an established
calculation formula as determined by the commodity. Certain commodities
are excluded from coverage and Carrier will not assess any Cargo
Insurance Charges on shipments of such cargo. A copy of insurance rates,
valuation formulas and exceptions can be obtained from the Carrier.
