It happens sometimes that customer does not return the container clean, or the container is damaged. These are cost which neither we nor the customer is happy to see. Therefore we recommend to check the manual which will show you how the container should not look like.

When container is fully loaded, shipper agrees and accepts that the container is in a good condition – which means no damage from inside, is clean etc. (B/L Clause 15.4).

Clause 15.4

If containers supplied by or on behalf of the carrier are unpacked at the Merchant’s premises, the Merchant is responsible for returning the empty containers with interiors clean, odour free and in the same condition as received to the point or place designated by the Carrier, within the time prescribed. Should a Container not be returned in the condition required and/or within the time prescribed in the Tariff, the Merchant shall be liable for any detention, loss or expense incurred as a result thereof.

If the cargo in the container needs veterinary/phyto check in the port, please contact customer service import team before the container is discharged.
