Warehouse-bonded
Pending completion of customs
formalities for Import or Export goods may
be held in a bonded warehouse until such time
as any relevant taxes or duties are paid.
A bond holder gives the authorities the assurance
that they will accept responsibility for the
duty on any consignment lost while under their
control .Similiarly , certain goods are manufactured
under government control and are kept in bond
on the local market or export. Duties will
be assessed on these goods before they can
leave the bonded warehouse.
Weight or
Measure
All transport modes convert
space utilised by a consignment by different
factors. Deadweight cargo by sea is cargo
weighing one tonne and measuring one cubic
meter(volume) or less. Road transport converts
usually at 3 cubic meters per tonne and Airfreight
allows 6 cubic meters of space per tonne.
Freight charges in each case are then calculated
on the basis of whatever will bring the carriers
the greatest return.
