Quelle est la différence entre l’expédition telle que déclarée et l’erreur de déclaration ?
To whom this article will be useful
This article is made for coconut charcoal briquette wholesale buyers who is planning to arrang its shipment from Indonesia. The one who is going to buy at least one sea container is 17-25 tons of charcoal.
What is the problem?
As you know already, most of the shipping lines don’t want to carry coconut charcoal. If you call the liner and ask them for the price, the answer will be: « Sorry, we do not allow coconut charcoal on the vessel ».
It all started in earlier 2000s when MSC shipping lines had one of the containers on fire while shipping to Russia. Since then, most of the shipping lines have declined to carry coconut charcoal.
So, how do you do shipping?
Il existe deux façons d’expédier le charbon de coco.
One is to declare or mention coconut charcoal in the shipping documents, such as Bill of Lading or B/L.
It means that in the Bill of Lading, we write that we are shipping coconut charcoal briquettes.
Il s’agit de la méthode la plus sûre et la plus recommandée pour expédier du charbon de coco avec la méthode Declare or mention.
Most of the shipping lines treat coconut charcoal as Dangerous Goods (DG), not as General Cargo. Even in the MSDS, our coconut charcoal is stated as safe and not subject to self-ignition based on the SHT test.
Marchandises dangereuses signifie que la coque du conteneur est placée sur le pont spécial du navire, conçu pour les marchandises dangereuses. Cela renchérit le coût du transport.
Basically, shipping DG will cost you 30-100% more than shipping General Cargo. For example, shipping general cargo to Newark, USA is 5-7 thousand USD. But the shipping of DG is 15-18 thousand USD.
La deuxième méthode d’expédition est Misdelcare (fortement déconseillée).
Misdeclaration means that in the Bill of Lading we mention, not coconut charcoal, but another « safe » product, like parquet, furniture, wooden handicrafts, anything that is not charcoal.
Cette méthode vous permet d’obtenir des frais de transport moins élevés, car les compagnies maritimes vous acceptent en tant que marchandises diverses.
But if the shipping line finds out that you « misdeclared, » you will get a huge fine. ZIM shipping lines will charge you about 30.000 USD, CMA 20.000 USD, and so on. This is a huge amount of money compared with the costs of the goods.
Besides, you, as the buyer, shipping agent, and factory, will be blacklisted from most shipping lines.
This is a big risk. Every year, a lot of containers with coconut charcoal are couched by shipping lines, stopped, and banned.
As a reliable coconut charcoal factory, we strongly suggest using the Declare or Mention method while shipping charcoal.
