S2A Network | International Shipping & Delivery Policy
1. Scope of Services S2A Network facilitates the global movement of goods through international import and export channels. This policy applies to all shipments managed or brokered by S2A Network, unless otherwise specified in a separate bilateral trade agreement.
2. International Shipping Methods We offer several modes of transit depending on the volume, weight, and urgency of the cargo: Ocean Freight: Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL). Air Freight: Priority and Standard air cargo services for time-sensitive shipments. Road/Rail Freight: Available for cross-border continental shipments where applicable.
3. Incoterms (Terms of Sale) To ensure clarity regarding costs, risks, and responsibilities, all shipments are processed under *Incoterms® 2020* rules. Standard terms used by S2A Network include, but are not limited to: EXW (Ex Works) FOB (Free on Board) CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Note: The specific Incoterm for your order will be clearly stated on the Proforma Invoice and Sales Contract.
4. Shipping Timelines & Handling Lead Time: Processing times vary based on product sourcing and documentation. Estimated lead times will be provided at the time of quotation. Transit Times: International transit times are estimates and subject to carrier schedules, weather conditions, and port congestion. S2A Network is not liable for delays caused by third-party carriers.
5. Customs, Duties, and Taxes Export Documentation: S2A Network handles all necessary export documentation from the country of origin. Import Obligations: Unless the shipment is under DDP terms, the buyer is responsible for all import duties, taxes, and local customs clearance fees in the destination country.
6. Cargo Insurance While we take every precaution to secure cargo, international transit carries inherent risks. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive marine/cargo insurance. S2A Network can arrange insurance on behalf of the client upon request (standard for CIF terms).
7. Tracking and Documentation Upon dispatch, S2A Network will provide the buyer with all necessary shipping documents, which may include: Bill of Lading (B/L) or Air Waybill (AWB) Commercial Invoice Packing List Certificate of Origin (if required)
8. Inspection and Claims Pre-Shipment Inspection: Clients may request a third-party inspection (e.g., SGS) at the port of origin at their own expense. Damages: Any discrepancies or damages must be noted on the Proof of Delivery (POD) and reported to S2A Network within 48 hours of receipt to facilitate carrier claims.
