Standard conditions
All tasks are carried out in compliance with the Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders’ General Conditions (NSAB 2000). These conditions limit our liability for lost, deteriorated or damaged goods to SDR 8.33 per kg. And for delays up to the freight amount, a maximum of SDR 50,000 for each order. With storage, the freight forwarder’s total liability for damage concerning one and the same event is limited to SDR 500,000 (section 27). Note in particular that claims against the freight forwarder are barred after one year (section 30), and that the lien (section 14) covers both current and earlier claims. Claims on freight etc. must be honoured regardless of the trade agreement delivery terms (section 10).

International Commercial Terms (Incoterms)
Within international trade, a number of clauses, Incoterms, are used that are prepared by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). These describe the buyers’ and sellers’ risks, liability and obligations in international trade. Incoterms 2010 replaces Incoterms 2000 and came into effect on 1 January 2011.
Insurance
You should be aware that as NTG Växjö’s liability as a transporter is limited, it does not cover the full loss. A transport insurance should therefore be considered a necessary supplement.
It is therefore very important that you remember to take out a separate transport insurance. You are then insured in the best possible way if misfortune should strike.
At NTG Växjö, we cooperate exclusively with renowned insurance companies, and we are happy to help you arrange insurance. Simply get in touch with your usual contact person at NTG Växjö, and we will help you throughout the process.
