We constantly work to improve our freight handling techniques so as to minimize the possibility of shortage or damage occurring to your freight. However, in the event that you are involved with a “claim”, we have prepared the following guidelines to assist you in helping us resolve it. If you follow these guidelines, your claim will be processed with a minimum of delay.


60-day time limit for filing claims
If your freight has been received with shortage or damages, you have 60 days to notify us of your claim. This notification must be in writing. An inspection report or a notification on the proof of delivery does not constitute a notice of claim.
Limit of responsibility
In the absence of a declared valuation on the bill of lading, the carrier’s maximum responsibility is limited to $4.41 per kilogram or $2.00 per pound on the claimed item.
Submitting claims : When submitting a claim, please ensure the following documents are included:
  • Copy of the original bill of lading and/or proof of delivery;
  • Copy of the inspection report, if available;
  • Copy of the original invoice from the supplier confirming the value of the goods at the time of shipping;
    Retain damaged goods

    All damaged goods should be retained at the consignee or at the shipper until the claim is settled. If possible, a salvage credit should be applied against the claim.

    Cargo Inspections
    An inspection report, filing of Notice of Intent to claim, or submission of claim do not constitute admission of liability.
