An ‘Enhanced Remote Transit Shed’ is an approved place situated outside the appointed area of an approved port/airport where non-Community goods may be held until they are declared to customs for an approved treatment or use. This allows for operators of ‘Groupage’ consignments  to remove the consignment from the Port/Airport/Mail  or Overland Entrance, under arrangements with Customs, to the approved warehouse so that Unloading and Storage  can commence prior to the goods being entered to or cleared by Customs.

This allows for quicker movement of Cargo through the Overland/Port/Airport or Postal  movements and results in the goods being made available to the importer more readily than would otherwise be the case if all consignments had to be cleared at the point of entrance  before they could be moved.

The temporary storage premises must be maintained, secure and in good repair to the satisfaction of HMC (Her Majesty`s Customs). The premises is equipped with suitable facilities for storing, unloading, examining and clearing the goods and for examining the vehicles with a State of the Art 24Hr CCTV Surveillance and Smoke Detectors as is Compulsory for Insurance Purposes.

There are Certain Commodities we cannot not Insure as the Freight Broker, Eg. Personal Effects  or Used items, this can only be done Directly with our Insurers. Any damages incurred without insurance Coverage would fall under the CMR Terms:

Liabilities of the road carrier
The carrier is liable for loss, damage or delay to the goods between the time they are taken into its charge until the time they are delivered. The acts of the carrier”s servants agents and sub-contractors also fall within its responsibility subject to a few excepted perils which can provide defence to a claim including wrongful act of neglect of the claimant, Instructions of the claimant given otherwise than as the result of the carrier”s own wrongful act or neglect, Inherent vice of the goods and circumstances which could not be avoided and the consequences of which the carrier was unable to prevent.

Compensation
This is calculated in relation to the value of the goods at the time and place at which they were accepted for carriage, and the value is based either on the commodity or market price, or, where there is no such price, the normal value of similar goods. Most Western European states have ratified a protocol to the CMR introducing compensation limits based on 8.33 SDRs per kilo of gross weight of the goods lost or damaged.

The currency value of the SDR is determined by summing the values in U.S. dollars, based on market exchange rates, of a basket of major currencies (the U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling and the Chinese renminbi). The SDR currency value is calculated daily (except on IMF holidays or whenever the IMF is closed for business) and the valuation basket is reviewed and adjusted every five years.
