Covid-19 disruptions
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation all bookings are subject to possible changes with or without notice. Further, any disruption to the shipment itinerary due to circumstances directly related to sudden closure of borders and/or discontinuation of flights & services of all modes of transport may lead to additional costs including, but not limited to, increased freight cost, additional warehouse & handling cost, storage cost and alternate transport cost should it become necessary or being requested by the client. Cancelled and abandoned shipment cost will also be passed on should such events occur voluntarily or involuntarily. Those concerned are responsible for all fees and charges until shipments are cleared and accepted by the consignees.
