Information on tariffs of countries that we ship to and other charges

As part of efforts by PIL to reinforce our safety practices to protect our crew, ships and cargo, with effect from 10 January 2022, as part of PIL / carrier’s tariff, a charge of USD 30,000.00 per container globally is being imposed upon the shipper and/or consignee for any misdeclaration of dangerous and hazardous cargoes / goods (DG Goods).

Misdeclaration includes but is not limited to incorrect/partial declaration, late declaration, alteration or omission of such declaration.

In addition to this charge, we wish to highlight that amongst others, the shipper and consignee will be held liable and responsible for all corrective measures, claims, fines, liabilities, losses, delays, damages or expenses arising in consequence of such misdeclaration. Please also refer to PIL’s bill of lading terms and conditions.

We also wish to highlight that failure to properly declare DG Goods constitutes a breach of contract which also violates the applicable law, endangers lives, causes significant economic losses and adversely affects the operations of the entire supply chain.

As such, it is important to correctly declare all DG Goods. PIL appreciates all the support and cooperation in our efforts to maintain a safe supply chain.

As with the charges for DG Goods, with effect from 15 February 2022, a charge of USD 30,000.00 per container globally is being imposed as part of PIL/carrier’s tariff upon the shipper and/or consignee making any misdeclaration of the cargo weight which in effect exceeds the maximum payload of the container used for the carriage. Misdeclaration includes but is not limited to incorrect/partial declaration, late declaration, alteration or omission of such declaration.

In addition to this charge, we wish to highlight that amongst others, the shipper and consignee will be held liable and responsible for all corrective measures, claims, fines, liabilities, losses, delays, damages or expenses arising in consequence of such misdeclaration. Please also refer to PIL’s bill of lading terms and conditions.

Please note that failure to properly declare cargo weight constitutes a breach of contract which violates the applicable law, endangers lives and adversely affects the operations of the entire supply chain.

As such, it is important to correctly declare all cargo weight. We greatly appreciate all the support and cooperation in our efforts to maintain a safe supply chain.
