Weight of goods:

The client must specify every transport order in as much detail as possible. The exact weight and dimensions of the material to be transported must be specified, particularly the gross weight of the cargo, for which we refer to the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention that has been applicable as of 1 July 2016. For each CSC container loaded for an international journey/sea voyage, the correct VGM (Verified Gross Mass) must be specified so that the terminal, engineer, shipmaster or their representative can be notified in good time. Overdue notification may result in delays and additional costs.

Smartcontainer will not accept any liability in this matter. The maximum weight to be loaded depends on the transport route section. The maximum weight to be loaded will be specified in the quote submitted. Should these maximum weights be exceeded, this may mean that the container cannot be shipped. Smartcontainer cannot accept any liability for this either.

Free trade:

The offer only applies for the transport of goods that can be transported in accordance with free trade and standard commercial practice. This explicitly also refers to the HS codes that are contrary to transit through Russia because of the sanctions imposed.

Liability:

Smartcontainer has limited liability for errors or omissions on its part or that of third parties in performing the order.

Smartcontainer will never be liable for any indirect damage, including economic loss, consequential damage or immaterial damage.

Special note on customs clearance

Please make sure that your importer to is able to customs clear your cargo within two days. Rail station will charge for containers not removed after this period.
