Note #1
Discharge Port: Santo Tomas, Guatemala (CY delivery) – containerization required. Receivers require a 45 day free period on each container to allow for customs clearance and on carriage to HUEHUETENANGO and return to Santo Tomas terminal.
Free time will not commence until a consignment is completely off-loaded from the vessel and available to receivers at carrier’s own or designated container yard with all carrier requirements completed and to cease upon return of empty container(s) to the terminal at Santo Tomas. Free time is to include time on equipment and any terminal storage or similar costs. Any demurrage claims after the free time period expires must not exceed $10 per day per container or not to exceed the carrier’s tariff rate, whichever is lower.
Time for the fumigation process (from the date PROJECT CONCERN INTERNATIONAL through its customs agent, requests the carrier for the coordination for fumigation until fumigation and aeration is completed and the Ministry of Agriculture releases the Customs Declaration) is for the owner’s account and will not count against the 45 day free period.
NOTE: CARRIERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE NEW FUMIGATION PROCESS REQUIRED BY GUATEMALA MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE WHICH IS CONSIDERED PART OF THE FUMIGATION PROCESS FOR CARRIERS ACCOUNT.
No demurrage. No despatch, No detention. All container handling charges at Santo Tomas port are for the carrier’s account including, but not limited to, reception and cleaning of the destuffed containers.
