If delivery is requested directly to the Counterpart (DAP), it shall be explicitly stated in the Purchase Order/Shipping Instructions. C. Shipping Documentation The Freight Forwarder will be required to: 1. Obtain or produce promptly all required shipping documentation following ASPA s shipping instructions including any special instructions contained in the Purchase Order, applicable laws and regulations, and as required by the selected mode of transport, cargo type and packing. 2. Ensure that applicable export and import licenses are available. 3. Obtain a full set of Bill of Lading, Master Airway Bill, or CMR as appropriate for the selected mode of transportation. 4. Ensure that a full set of shipping documents and related information reach the consignee, Counterpart in a timely manner as defined in the Shipping Instructions. In particular, this applies to cold chain and dangerous goods shipments. Stale documents shall not be acceptable and any demurrage involved as a result shall be for the account of the Freight Forwarder. Complete details shall be given in each Purchase Order. 5. On occasion, ASPA may require the Freight Forwarder to issue additional sets of documents. Any associated charges will be established by mutual agreement between both parties. D. Time Limits for Dispatch 1. The Date of Delivery indicated on the Purchase Order refers to the date of Goods availability from Suppliers for collection. The Freight Forwarder shall check and define with Suppliers the effective date of availability of Goods on a Ready for Carriage basis; all export documents (e.g. packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin, dangerous goods declaration, export license, etc.) must be prepared and available at the time of Goods pick up. Goods shall be properly packed by Suppliers taking into 7

8 consideration the mode of transport (air, sea, and road). As soon as Goods are available for collection, the Freight Forwarder shall make a notification in the web-based real time portal for tracking shipments. 2. The Freight Forwarder shall verify in advance Goods availability for collection; ASPA shall not reimburse the Freight Forwarder for making a trip to Supplier s warehouse without Supplier s written confirmation of Goods ready for pick-up. Any delays shall be immediately communicated to ASPA. 3. Greenlight refers to the authorization to ship granted by the Counterpart in the country of destination. Once greenlight is given, Goods shall be collected from Supplier s warehouse within two (2) working days, and the Freight Forwarder shall make a notification of the event in the web-based real time portal for tracking shipments. In the event Goods are available for collection from Supplier s warehouse prior to receiving greenlight, the Freight Forwarder shall make arrangements to store Goods at Forwarder s warehouse should the Supplier have limited space at their premises. 4.

In particular, this shall apply in cases where the Counterpart is not ready to receive the Goods or due to unforeseen delays (e.g. airline strikes, etc.) 6. For shipments from ASPA Tafuna Warehouse, the same time limits for dispatch shall apply. 7. In exceptional cases, ASPA may request that dispatch is delayed; storage fees shall be promptly communicated to ASPA. E. Pre-carriage The Freight Forwarder can choose between customary routes to the nearest airport/port of Origin to Destination within the time limits set forth above under FCA Supplier s warehouse Purchase Orders. ASPA will not accept additional costs for cross- border pre-carriage (e.g. to another country of departure), unless agreed to in writing. In such cases, ASPA shall be quoted in advance transport costs from collection point to airport/port of departure. F. Air Freight 8

9 The Freight Forwarder will be required to select only next suitable regular scheduled flight. Wherever possible, all air shipments shall travel by the most direct route. Where trans-shipment is inevitable, the shipping route shall be planned through airports known for providing a swift handling service. For cold chain shipments, the Freight Forwarder shall select the most direct route to avoid spoilage or further delays in reaching final destination. Taking the above into consideration, the Freight Forwarder may choose a more distant airport of departure taking pre-carriage charges into account, when this is appropriate and to the advantage of ASPA. G. Ocean Freight The Freight Forwarder will be required to select only next suitable regular scheduled vessel with due consideration to the lowest cost and best possible transit time. H. Inland Transport For carriage from port of discharge up to final destination, the Freight Forwarder can choose between customary means of conveyance and routes to ensure fast and safe arrival. It shall be the responsibility of the Freight Forwarder to comply with national/international regulations of countries in-transit and final destination. I. Additional Services Additional services may be requested by ASPA and these shall be negotiated and agreed to prior to initiation. These services may include but are not limited to: 1. Additional services for ASPA customers for designated consignees, destinations and/or projects. 2. Additional services may also be required in instances where geographical coverage and/or mode of transport have been changed between Freight Forwarders. IV. Taxes and Duties 1.
