HLS Shipping Order Clause

Dear customer

Please carefully read the Shipping Order Clause of Honour Lane(“HLS”) as below, if you have no objection, it is considered that you have fully acknowledge and accept it:

1.        The shipping order serves as the basis for consigning goods, arranging transportation and issuing the bill of lading. All items must be filled in carefully.

2.        For the consignment of dangerous goods, in addition to fill in the relevant information in the dangerous goods column of this form, the shipper must also provide product instructions, performance appraisal certificates of packaging containers, and emergency response plans for dangerous goods, etc.

3.        The booking party/shipper hereby guarantees and undertakes that all the declared information of the goods (such as marks, quantity, description, weight, measurement, etc.) is complete, true, legal and valid. All responsibilities, risks, disputes, costs, etc. arising from the failure to fill in the form correctly, resulting in the goods not being shipped in time, being misrouted, incorrect bills of lading, inability to settle foreign exchange, inability to take delivery, etc., shall be borne by the booking party and the shipper. This includes additional costs incurred to complete the original transportation and any claims, fines, etc. from third parties.

4.        If the container is dirty or damaged due to reasons not related to HLS, the booking party and the shipper shall bear the cleaning fees, repair fees or compensation for the container value.

5.        If the full container load is not picked up within the free detention period stipulated by the relevant third party, HLS has the right to unpack the container and return the empty container to the yard to avoid detention fees and other charges from increasing, and temporarily store the goods (whether in bonded or cleared status) in the warehouse or by other means until they are picked up. All costs arising therefrom shall be borne by the booking party and the shipper.

6.        If the shipper/booking party fails to deliver the goods within the free storage period of the container, resulting in the consignee's delay, non-arrival, refusal, abandonment or non-pickup of the goods, or if the consignee is unable to take delivery of the goods or abandons the goods due to reasons related to the goods themselves (such as misdeclaration or reasons other than HLS that do not comply with the regulations of the importing country and are subject to inspection, examination or handling by customs or other relevant authorities), the shipper/booking party shall promptly provide a solution (such as abandonment, resale, return shipment, apply the shipping line to buy the container to avoid losses etc.) and bear all costs including the freight to be paid, container detention fees, unpacking fees, storage fees, terminal storage fees, airport cargo station fees, inspection and examination fees, handling fees for the goods or containers, and return freight (such costs shall be based on the rates and/or amounts announced or claimed by the relevant third parties). Whether the consignee at the destination port clears customs, exchanges the bill of lading or makes other claims for taking delivery of the goods or whether the shipment can be returned does not affect HLS's right to claim the above-mentioned expenses from the shipper/booking party.

7.     HLS has the right to sell, auction or dispose of the goods and use the proceeds to offset the losses of HLS and the carrier (including all the aforementioned costs). If the goods cannot be sold, auctioned or disposed of, or if the proceeds are insufficient to cover the losses, the booking party and the shipper shall jointly and severally bear the shortfall and guarantee to pay the amount within 5 days after receiving the invoice from HLS or the carrier. If there is any objection/disagreement to the notice, it must be raised within 5 days after receipt; otherwise, it will be deemed that the booking party/shipper accepts the items and amounts listed in the invoice. HLS will arrange for the delivery of relevant documents and goods after receiving all the receivables. Any additional losses (such as all the aforementioned costs) incurred during the period when the booking party/shipper fails to make payment shall be borne by the booking party and the shipper.
