Marine transit (Goods in transit) Claim procedures

Should goods be received in a damaged condition or should there be any reason to suspect damage, the delivery receipt should be endorsed "goods received damaged" or "goods received suspect damage. Subject to survey in store", drawing the attention of the carrier to this endorsement. This prevents the carrier producing a "clean" delivery receipt after the event and claiming that the goods were delivered in a sound condition. For this reason, goods should always be checked carefully upon receipt.

• Delivery receipt
• Original or carbon copy of the freight note
• Invoices
• Airway Bill or Bill of Landing if delivered from overseas
• Carriers' conditions of carriage
