The Ten Commandments For
B/L's & Manifests
 
1- Always consign Master B/L & AWB's to our address,
AWB's for the client or the bank, and only issue your house B/L or AWB.
2- The description "packages" & "colis" are not accepted, B/L & Manifest must be precise, please specify whether: Cartons, Cases, Barrels, Pallets, etc...
3- In case of pallets, pls specify contents, STC example: 
- 1 palet STC 34 cartons 
- or 1 pallet STC 74 cases (or whatsoever).
4- The following data must be identical to the reality, on your House B/L / AWB, Master B/L / AWB, and on your groupage Manifest:
  - Nature of Goods
  - Number & kind of packages
  - Marks & Numbers
  - Weight of the cargo
5- For weights, always specify in kilograms.
Please mention it if declared weight is Pound/Lbs.
6- If several containers are on the same B/L, please specify the number of packages + weight in each container.
7- Please make sure that Master B/L with all shipping docs will reach us 4 working days before vessel's arrival.
8- House B/L's and House AWB's consigned through our company are accepted by Lebanese Banks + Official Authorities.
Please always mention our Name, Phone, Fax numbers as Delivery Agents.
9- In case profits are very low & to avoid courier charges, please surrender the Original Master B/L to the S/S Line at port of loading asking them to instruct Beirut Agent to release cargo to us in absence of original ocean B/L.
10- As much as possible, please give phone, fax, e-mail, telex and P.O. Box No. of receiver to allow easy notification of arrival.

 

Any wrong information, or misconsideration of the above will cause custom fines, which we will have to debit to overseas agents. This will cause delays in clearing goods through Lebanese Customs.
