4. Container Condition & Damage

The client is responsible for inspecting the container before loading and promptly reporting any visible defects, holes, water intrusion, damaged flooring, or structural concerns.

• Photographs of the fully loaded container before the doors are closed.
• Photographs of the container seal and seal number.

6. Cargo Declarations, Prohibited Goods & Compliance

The client is responsible for accurately disclosing the nature, quantity, weight, dimensions, value, and classification of all cargo.

Hazardous materials, dangerous goods, restricted commodities, or undeclared cargo may not be loaded without prior written disclosure and applicable approvals.

• Damage to containers, transportation equipment, or third-party property resulting from the client's acts or omissions.

8. Insurance & Risk Acceptance

The client acknowledges that marine cargo insurance is not automatically included unless separately purchased and confirmed in writing.

Any insurance coverage is subject to the applicable policy's terms, limitations, conditions, and exclusions.
