for shipments above 6000 euros

a EUR1 certificate is required with the shipment, this is taken care off by UPS, TNT, FEDEX, DHL or other freight companies

We fill in the airway bill in for you.

We contact the forwarder and arrange the shipment.

As far as liability for damage of goods or loss of goods due to the forwarding agent. You are responsible and will have to take an insurance.

You can also request for an extra insurance to be applied for when filling in the airway bill.

(however most customers do not take an insurance)

*****

When you use another forwarding agent. (such as Kuehne & Nagel)

Then we cannot fill in the paperwork ourselves, this is done by the contact here in Belgium of the forwarder.

What we do then is send them the necessary documents and they take care.

Usually you will have to place then the order for pick-up (this can only be done when you get a go ahead from us and when goods are ready & packed)

Hope this clarifies everything.
