Change of Destination (COD) Procedure for Import Cargo

COD Procedure starts at Port of Loading (POL).

 

There must be COD instruction provided by the Shipper to MSC Agency in POL.

There must be also the full set of original BL surrendered at any MSC office.

 

Then the agent in POL will send COD application to our principal and relevant transshipment port to check out operation feasibility and involved costs if possible.

There must be COD costs payer clearly advised.

 

Once all costs are confirmed – agent in POL will issue the manifest correction, amending port of discharge and applying COD costs.

 

COD Fee is always charged - its amount depends on the port of loading. 

For cargo ex Far East COD Fee amounts to 500 USD per BL.

 

Restows or shifting / transshipment costs may occur - they are based on actual container's position stowed onboard.

 

If new freight rate is higher than original freight rate, then new freight rate will be charged.

If new freight rate is lower than original one, the difference will not be refunded. 

 

If COD costs payer is located in Poland all above mentioned costs can be collected by MSC Poland in order to make the release smooth and fast.
