- All carriage charges shall be paid upon receipt of goods, no matter whether the shipping schedule has to be cancelled or the goods fail to be delivered to the destination due to accidents during transit. Any prepaid carriage charges will not be returned and any outstanding amount will be settled by the shipper or the consignee.

Our company shall not be held liable for the situation, where flammables, explosives and other dangerous articles that can be transported with prior consent of our company are subject to the disposal of the vehicles, ships or airlines in the way they deem appropriate, provided that the said items present risks or damages to the other goods of the same carriage within the period between the cargo pickup to delivery.
