TRANSPORTATION CLAIMS

The responsibility of HAWS ceases upon delivery of goods in good order to transportation company, and all goods are shipped at consignee’s risk.


For your protection, shipment should be inspected immediately upon receipt by consignee. If goods are damaged in shipment it is the responsibility of the consignee to have that damage noted on the freight delivery receipt by the delivering carrier. This includes visible carton damage such as crushed corners, creases etc. If the consignee believes there may be concealed damage, or any damage is visible, (regardless of consignee’s opinion as to whether it is damage or defective), shipment must be inspected by the delivering carrier and an inspection report made. The carrier, not the shipper, should be charged with any loss or damage and any claim should be filed with the delivering transportation company.

SHORTAGES
