As
our family of worldwide agents
continues to grow, almost 4000
agents in 160 countries, our
area of coverage widens as well
as our exposure.
In order to properly support
this growth and avoid heavy
monetary fines, suspensions or
disruptions in service, we all
must remain diligent in
following the AWS outlined
procedures.
Our system is specifically
designed with these procedures
in place to ensure we are
compliant with all the current
laws and regulations ,
enforceable by the governing
agencies involved.
Additionally, this helps
protect us all from any disputes
or liabilities that may arise
from a shipment.
This message is consistently
reinforced by our team and
detailed in all our
literature. This is a call to action and a
follow-up from our broadcast in
September asking for the
same.
The following requirements must
be followed:
-All World Shipping must be
reflected as the Shipper on
carrier MBLs, if HBLs are to be
issued (All trade
routes)
-NRAs tariff must be filed
and completed with the
corresponding carrier Booking #
(In/Out of USA)
-HBLs must be completed for
all corresponding AMS
transmissions (Inbound
USA)
Some flexibility has been built
into the system to accommodate
changes however we are
developing additional control
features that will force
specific actions to assist our
compliance efforts.
Again, It is important we work
together to avoid jeopardizing
our FMC authority and good
standing in the trade
community…one which we all
benefit from. We look
forward to your full cooperation
in adhering to all AWS policies
and procedures.
