Effective January 29, 2016, all air shipments destined to the United States must be tendered with a written declaration stating that the shipper has reviewed all available documentation.  The shipper must also determine that none of the cargo being offered in the consignment or consolidation has originated in, transferred from, or transited through any point in Somalia, Syria, Yemen or Egypt.  Here is the exact wording:

  • “Name of entity” has reviewed all available documentation and has determined that none of the cargo being offered in this consignment or consolidation has originated in, transferred from, or transited through any point in Somalia, Syria, Yemen or Egypt.”

Quick Tip #14
Don’t just insure the value of the goods

When insuring your freight, you are fully entitled to value your goods at a price above the base cost. Valuation of goods may include all freight charges, related costs, plus 10% (or more) to cover the administrative burden of processing a claim and to cover the insured’s profit. Since duty is still payable on damaged goods, make sure you insure the amount of duty as well.
