<strong>FedEx</strong> Express<br />

International Government<br />

Contract Service Guide<br />

Effective October 2006


Dear Government Customer:<br />

With global trade on the rise, <strong>FedEx</strong> sees a greater need to move shipments more efficiently<br />

and more effectively. To meet this growing need, we have strengthened our focus on infrastructure,<br />

operations and processes.<br />

In 2006:<br />

•The Government Services team added more resources in CONUS and OCONUS locations.<br />

• We’ve extended hours for the Government Billing Hotline — now available from 8 a.m.<br />

to 7 p.m. EST.<br />

• <strong>FedEx</strong> increased coverage in Iraq to include service to Qayyarah Airfield West (Q-West).<br />

• We’re awaiting delivery of Boeing 777s which will enhance our freight capacity in international<br />

markets.<br />

• We’re expanding the Indianapolis Hub, where most shipments will be international.<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> is committed to providing access to the global economy to both businesses and<br />

government agencies — big and small. And <strong>FedEx</strong> is delivering on that promise through<br />

our role in the Worldwide Express Contract.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Gurn Freeman<br />

Managing Director<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> Government Services Worldwide

Customized Shipping<br />

Solutions


Preparing Your International<br />

Express Shipment<br />

Follow these guidelines when packaging your shipments.* You can<br />

purchase brown boxes, bubble padding and other supplies, plus<br />

get help from packaging specialists, at <strong>FedEx</strong> Kinko’s Office and<br />

Print Centers ® .<br />

Packaging Tips<br />

• Use a sturdy, undamaged box with all flaps intact. For heavier<br />

items, use double-wall boxes.<br />

• Protect small packages by placing them inside an outer container.<br />

For express shipments smaller than 7" x 4" x 2", use a <strong>FedEx</strong> Express<br />

packaging option (see page 12).<br />

• Place 2 or 3 inches of cushioning material, such as bubble padding,<br />

packaging peanuts, corrugated fiberboard, foam pads or molded<br />

plastic material, on the bottom, top and sides of your container.<br />

• Double-box fragile items and place 2 or 3 inches of cushioning in<br />

and around the smaller box.<br />

• Position bottles that contain liquids upright. Use an inner seal<br />

and perforated breakaway cap. When you’re shipping liquids,<br />

the inner packaging must be able to contain leaks.<br />

Sealing Tips<br />

• Use tape that’s at least 2 inches wide (3 inches wide preferred)<br />

to seal seams and flaps. Use pressure-sensitive plastic tape,<br />

water-activated paper tape (minimum 60-lb. grade) or wateractivated<br />

reinforced tape.<br />

• Use a protective outer container when shipping items that have<br />

an easily damaged or soiled finish, or items wrapped in paper.<br />

• Do not use cellophane tape, duct tape, masking tape, string or<br />

rope to seal your package.<br />

Addressing and Labeling Tips<br />

• Place delivery information both inside and outside the package.<br />

Include a full address for yourself and the recipient including<br />

your names.<br />

• Spell out the name of the government agency.<br />

• Do not list a P.O. box address for U.S. recipients. <strong>FedEx</strong> Express can<br />

ship to a P.O. box in certain international locations, including Puerto<br />

Rico, but you must provide a valid telephone, fax or telex number.<br />

• Place shipping labels on the largest surface of the package. While<br />

we cannot ensure compliance with markings such as “Up” arrows<br />

or “This End Up,” proper placement of the shipping label will increase<br />

your chances for preferred orientation. Do not place labels over<br />

seams or sealing tape.<br />

• Use tie-on tags for golf bags, skis and luggage. You can order<br />

them at fedex.com. Or call 1.800.Go<strong>FedEx</strong> 1.800.463.3339.<br />

* For more tips and guidelines, download and print our “How to Pack” guide. Go to fedex.com/us/services/shipinfo, then<br />

select Packaging. For other packaging-related help, call <strong>FedEx</strong> Packaging Design and Development at 1.800.633.7019.<br />

Dangerous Goods<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> Express is a world leader in the transport of dangerous<br />

goods, and has specialists on staff to assist with dangerous-goods<br />

questions. The first step is for you to identify whether your shipment<br />

contains dangerous goods. This category includes aerosol<br />

sprays, airbags, ammunition, butane, car batteries, cologne, dry<br />

ice, fireworks, gasoline, jet fuel, lighters, matches, nail polish, nail<br />

polish remover, nitrogen refrigerated liquid, paint, perfume and<br />

more.<br />

Shipments with dangerous goods must be tendered to <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Express in accordance with current International Air Transport<br />

Association (IATA) regulations for air transport and the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Express Terms and Conditions. This is required regardless of the<br />

routing and whether they end up physically moving by air transportation,<br />

ground transportation or any combination of these.<br />

See the terms and conditions section in this guide for details<br />

on shipping dangerous goods. If you are not sure whether your<br />

commodity meets the criteria for dangerous goods or what<br />

dangerous-goods identification and classification applies to your<br />

shipment, contact the U.S. Department of Transportation at<br />

1.800.467.4922. If you have further questions on shipment preparation,<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> Express International Terms and Conditions:<br />

The following pages contain the <strong>FedEx</strong> Express Terms and<br />

Conditions applicable to <strong>FedEx</strong> International Priority service from<br />

the U.S. to selected international destinations including, but not<br />

limited to, any such items tendered by customers utilizing <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

electronic shipping systems, air waybills, Government Bills of<br />

Lading, labels and shipping software.<br />

If there is a conflict between these terms and conditions and the<br />

terms and conditions on any <strong>FedEx</strong> air waybill, shipping label or<br />

other transit documentation, the terms and conditions in the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Service Guide, as amended, modified, changed or supplemented,<br />

will control to the extent they are not in conflict with the rules relating<br />

to liability for international carriage established by the Warsaw<br />

Convention, other applicable treaties or any applicable tariff.<br />

Rates and service quotations by our employees and agents are<br />

based upon information you provide, but final rates and service<br />

may vary based upon the shipment actually tendered and the<br />

application of these terms and conditions. Any conflict or inconsistency<br />

between the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide and other written or<br />

oral statements concerning the rates, features of service, and<br />

terms and conditions applicable to <strong>FedEx</strong> Express international<br />

services from the U.S. to international locations and many terms<br />

regarding importation and inbound clearance of shipments into<br />

the U.S. will be controlled by the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide, as modified,<br />

amended or supplemented.<br />

Accessorial Billing Services<br />

Beyond the basic transportation of urgent packages, <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

provides many additional services upon request. Some of these<br />

services, including the ones listed below, require the assessment<br />

of an accessorial billing fee:<br />

• Address Correction:<br />

If a recipient’s address on an air waybill or shipping label is<br />

incomplete or incorrect, we may attempt to find the correct<br />

address and complete delivery. A special handling fee will be<br />

assessed per address correction. Examples of addresses requiring<br />

correction are incorrect postal codes, omitted suite numbers<br />

or apartment numbers, and old street addresses for recipients<br />

who have relocated. If your shipment is destined to a P.O. box<br />

address, the special handling fee may be assessed if a valid<br />

telephone, fax or telex number is not provided for the recipient.<br />

If you’re using <strong>FedEx</strong> International Broker Select, the address<br />

correction fee will apply if the broker’s address is incomplete or<br />

incorrect on your air waybill or other shipping documentation.<br />

If we cannot determine the correct address or cannot reach<br />

the broker, we may attempt to contact the shipper for address<br />

clarification or instructions to return the shipment. If we are<br />

unable to complete delivery under these circumstances, we<br />

will not be liable for failing to meet our delivery commitment.<br />

22<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

• Credit Card Billing:<br />

Use of credit cards will be available for shipments made under<br />

the WWX contract. Please contact <strong>FedEx</strong> Government Account<br />

Services at 1.800.645.9424 for information on how to set up this<br />

process.<br />

• Increased Liability Coverage:<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> will provide increased liability coverage beyond the<br />

minimums stated in the Claims section for shipment(s) when<br />

requested by an authorized shipper at the time the shipment is<br />

tendered. <strong>FedEx</strong> will provide increased liability per US$100 of<br />

declared value, up to the limit of commercial coverage listed<br />

in the current <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide.<br />

Adjusted Weight<br />

If a shipment weight noted on the Commercial Bill of Lading (CBL),<br />

Government Bill of Lading (GBL) or electronic Commercial Forms<br />

and Procedures (CF&P) appears to be incorrect, <strong>FedEx</strong> will weigh<br />

the shipment before delivery (usually when it is picked up) and note<br />

the correct weight on the shipping document. We will also annotate<br />

on the invoice which packages have been adjusted for weight.<br />

Alcoholic Beverages<br />

For U.S. Import: <strong>FedEx</strong> will not accept shipments of alcohol<br />

(beer, wine or spirits) to nonlicensed parties located in the U.S.<br />

from an international location. <strong>FedEx</strong> will accept shipments of<br />

alcohol (beer, wine and spirits) inbound to the U.S. when both<br />

the shipper and recipient are licensed entities. For more information,<br />

go to fedex.com/us/wine. The shipper must hold a license<br />

from the country of origin issued in accordance with that country’s<br />

law and regulations. The recipient, located in the U.S., is required<br />

to hold: (1) a basic permit for importer and/or wholesaler issued<br />

from the U.S. Department of Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax<br />

and Trade Bureau (TTB), and (2) if applicable, a wholesaler, dealer,<br />

distributor or manufacturer license issued from the state in which<br />

the recipient is located.<br />

For U.S. Export: <strong>FedEx</strong> will accept alcohol shipments for export<br />

from the U.S. when both the shipper and recipient are licensed<br />

entities. Shippers located in the U.S. must hold: (1) a basic permit<br />

for importer and/or wholesaler issued from the TTB, and (2) if<br />

applicable, a wholesaler, dealer, distributor or manufacturer<br />

license issued from the state in which the shipper is located.<br />

An ancillary clearance service fee may apply if your shipment<br />

requires special import clearance processing; see fedex.com<br />

for more information.<br />

Contact your <strong>FedEx</strong> government account executive for complete<br />

details.


Attempted Delivery<br />

In all cases where a signature must be obtained, <strong>FedEx</strong> will<br />

make as many as three delivery attempts over as many as three<br />

consecutive business days before contacting the shipper for<br />

disposition instructions. Our money-back guarantee policy will<br />

not apply to undeliverable shipments of nonperishable items.<br />

(See the Undeliverable Shipments section.)<br />

Carriage Under Warsaw Convention<br />

a. As used in the <strong>FedEx</strong> Express Terms and Conditions, “Warsaw<br />

Convention” or “Convention” means the Convention for the<br />

Unification of Certain Rules relating to International Carriage<br />

by Air, signed at Warsaw, Oct. 12, 1929, or that Convention as<br />

amended, including the Montreal Protocol No. 4 and the Montreal<br />

Convention, whichever is applicable to the carriage or “carrier,”<br />

including the air carrier issuing the air waybill and all air carriers<br />

that carry the goods or perform any other services related<br />

to the carriage.<br />

b. When the carriage involves an ultimate destination or stop<br />

in a country other than the country of departure, the Warsaw<br />

Convention may be applicable. The Convention governs and,<br />

in most cases, limits our liability for loss of, damage to or delay<br />

of cargo.<br />

c. The Warsaw Convention limits our liability for loss or delay of<br />

or damage to your shipment, unless you declare a higher value<br />

for carriage and pay the required fee as described below. The<br />

interpretation of the Warsaw Convention’s liability limits may<br />

vary depending on the destination country. If the Warsaw<br />

Convention as amended by Montreal Protocol No. 4 or the<br />

Montreal Convention applies to your shipment, our liability<br />

is limited to 17 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) per kilo, unless<br />

you declare a higher value for carriage and pay the required<br />

fee. Otherwise, our liability is limited to US$9.07 per pound<br />

(US $20.38 per kilo) unless you declare a higher value for<br />

carriage and pay the required fee.<br />

d. To the extent not in conflict with the rules relating to liability<br />

for international carriage as established by the Warsaw<br />

Convention, carriage and other services performed by us<br />

are subject to the provisions of the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide and<br />

applicable tariffs as amended from time to time, which are<br />

incorporated in the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide by reference. The tariffs,<br />

if any, may be inspected at our corporate headquarters<br />

e. <strong>FedEx</strong> assumes no obligation to carry the goods by any specified<br />

aircraft or over any particular route or to make connections<br />

at any point according to any schedules. You agree <strong>FedEx</strong> may,<br />

without notice, substitute alternative carriers or aircraft, deviate<br />

from the route or routes, or cause the goods to be transported<br />

23<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

Claims<br />

We must receive notice of a claim due to damage (visible or<br />

concealed), delay (including spoilage claims) or shortage within<br />

21 calendar days after delivery of the shipment. (See the Money-<br />

Back Guarantee Policy section for the time period to request a<br />

refund or credit of transportation charges due to a service failure.)<br />

We must receive notice of all other claims, including, but not limited<br />

to, claims for nondelivery or misdelivery, within nine months after<br />

we accept the shipment. (See the Claims section in the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Express Terms and Conditions section of the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide.)<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> is liable for loss and damage up to US$100 or US$9.07 per<br />

pound per package, whichever is greater, unless you declare a<br />

higher value and pay the required fee. (See the Carriage Under<br />

Warsaw Convention section for information regarding increased<br />

liability coverage.) All damaged shipments remain the property<br />

of the U.S. government.<br />

Currency Conversion Rate Information<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> customers who need their charges converted to a freely<br />

convertible currency (other than U.S. dollars) will be billed using<br />

a daily conversion rate. Our source for the daily information is<br />

OANDA, an Internet exchange-rate service. For details on the<br />

conversion rate and other currency information, see the Billing<br />

section in the <strong>FedEx</strong> Express International Terms and Conditions<br />

section of the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide.<br />

Customs Clearance<br />

a. All shipments that cross international borders must be cleared<br />

through customs in the destination country prior to delivery to<br />

the recipient.<br />

b. Except as provided under the <strong>FedEx</strong> International Broker Select<br />

section in the Services and Rates section of the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service<br />

Guide, we (or a broker selected by us) will submit shipments<br />

to customs and other regulatory agencies for clearance. Duties<br />

and taxes will be advanced on behalf of the shipper and recipient<br />

provided appropriate credit arrangements have been made<br />

in advance. Where <strong>FedEx</strong> (or the broker selected by <strong>FedEx</strong>)<br />

incurs additional time or expense clearing an import shipment<br />

due to the commodities being imported or special brokerage<br />

processing, <strong>FedEx</strong> reserves the right to impose a fee (“ancillary<br />

clearance service fee”) in order to recover those costs to <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

that may be caused by regulatory agency declarations and<br />

processing, or by the customs broker chosen to clear the shipment.<br />

(See fedex.com/us/services/shipinfo/clearance for a list<br />

of ancillary clearance service fees.) These may include, without<br />

limitation, ancillary clearance service fees associated with the<br />

filing of entries within destination countries, such as with the<br />

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife<br />

Service, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and<br />

Explosives, live entries and entries pursuant to U.S. Department<br />

of Defense contracts (or comparable agencies in the destination<br />

country), and for other special brokerage processing.


Customs Clearance (continued)<br />

c. In some instances, at our option, we accept instructions from<br />

recipients to use a designated customs broker other than <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

(or the broker selected by <strong>FedEx</strong>) or the broker designated by<br />

the shipper.<br />

d. When shipments are held by customs or other agencies due to<br />

incorrect or missing documentation, we may attempt first to<br />

notify the recipient. If local law requires the correct information<br />

or documentation to be submitted by the recipient and the<br />

recipient fails to do so within a reasonable time as we may<br />

determine, the shipment may be considered undeliverable.<br />

(See the Undeliverable Shipments section.) If the recipient fails<br />

to supply the required information or documentation, and local<br />

law allows the shipper to provide the same, we may attempt<br />

to notify the shipper. If the shipper also fails to provide the<br />

information or documentation within a reasonable time as we<br />

may determine, the shipment will be considered undeliverable.<br />

We assume no responsibility for our inability to complete a<br />

delivery due to incorrect or missing documentation, whether<br />

or not we attempt to notify the recipient or shipper. (See the<br />

Undeliverable Shipments section.)<br />

e. Shipments requiring documentation in addition to the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

International Air Waybill (e.g., a Commercial Invoice) may<br />

require additional transit time. Proper completion of necessary<br />

documentation with complete and accurate shipment information,<br />

including the appropriate Harmonized Tariff Schedule Code,<br />

is the shipper’s responsibility.<br />

f. Shipments that contain goods or products that are regulated<br />

by multiple government agencies within the destination<br />

country (such as the Department of Agriculture, the Food<br />

and Drug Administration, the Fish and Wildlife Service and<br />

the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S. and<br />

comparable agencies in the destination country) may require<br />

additional time for clearance.<br />

g. The shipper is responsible for making sure goods shipped<br />

internationally are acceptable for entry into the destination<br />

country. All charges for shipment to and return from countries<br />

where entry is not permitted are the shipper’s responsibility.<br />

h. We assume no responsibility for shipments abandoned in customs,<br />

and such shipments may be considered undeliverable.<br />

i. If acceptable wildlife products are shipped via the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

International Broker Select service option for U.S. import,<br />

they must be addressed to a broker at one of the 18 designated<br />

U.S. Fish and Wildlife ports.<br />

j. U.S. import shipments that contain products that originate from<br />

wildlife or contain wildlife may require original permits/certificates<br />

(CITES) for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service clearance. U.S.<br />

importers of wildlife products must obtain an import license from<br />

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for commercial shipments.<br />

24<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

k. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires completion<br />

of FDA Prior Notice for certain shipments containing food<br />

or food articles for human or animal consumption prior to their<br />

arrival in the U.S. A copy of the FDA Prior Notice confirmation<br />

record must be included with the shipping documentation for<br />

all foods and food products that require Prior Notice.<br />

Dangerous Goods<br />

a. We accept most classes of dangerous goods as <strong>FedEx</strong> Express<br />

international shipments to and from “D” designated locations<br />

between the following locations: the U.S.,* Europe, Japan, Canada,<br />

Barbados, St. Maarten, Aruba, Trinidad, Tobago, the U.S.<br />

Virgin Islands and South Korea.<br />

b. All packages containing dangerous goods must comply with<br />

the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical<br />

Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods<br />

by Air, the International Air Transport Association (IATA)<br />

Dangerous Goods Regulations and, where applicable, Title<br />

49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Shippers of dangerous<br />

goods, whether prepared under ICAO/IATA or 49CFR, must<br />

comply with all <strong>FedEx</strong> Express variations listed in the current<br />

edition of the International Air Transport Association (IATA)<br />

tariff. All packages containing dangerous goods must comply<br />

with the IATA dangerous-goods regulations. The only<br />

exception is for a U.S. territory or commonwealth such as<br />

Puerto Rico. Shippers may use 49CFR when prepared by<br />

air as limited by the commodities <strong>FedEx</strong> Express accepts<br />

prepared under these regulations. The shipper is responsible<br />

for complying with all packing requirements and appropriate<br />

marking and labeling of the package, documentation, as well as<br />

compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws,<br />

regulations, ordinances and rules. The shipper is also responsible<br />

for ensuring the recipient complies with all applicable<br />

local, state and federal laws, regulations, ordinances and rules<br />

for applicable hazard classes.<br />

Dangerous goods can only be shipped using the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Expanded Service International Air Waybill when using a<br />

paper air waybill for express service.<br />

c. Shippers must comply with all applicable local, state and<br />

federal laws governing packing, marking and labeling of<br />

shipments of blood and blood products, regardless of<br />

whether they are infectious.<br />

d. Dangerous goods may not be shipped in any <strong>FedEx</strong> packaging,<br />

except for Diagnostic Specimens (UN 3733), which may be<br />

shipped in the <strong>FedEx</strong> Clinical Pak.<br />

e. <strong>FedEx</strong> Express does not accept dangerous-goods shipments<br />

prepared exclusively for ground shipment.<br />

* Certain restrictions apply for Alaska and Hawaii shipments; see Shipping Dangerous Goods via <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Express in the Services and Rates section of the <strong>FedEx</strong> Service Guide.


Dangerous Goods (continued)<br />

f. <strong>FedEx</strong> is not required to add dry ice to packages in its system<br />

or to provide re-icing services.<br />

g. Each shipment must be accompanied by the 8-1/2" Shipper’s<br />

Declaration for Dangerous Goods form when required.<br />

Title 49CFR paperwork cannot be used for international<br />

dangerous-goods shipments (except for a U.S. territory or<br />

commonwealth such as Puerto Rico), and such shipments<br />

will be refused or returned to the sender.<br />

h. Lithium batteries (UN 3090) that are Primary Non-Rechargeable<br />

require pre-approval to ship. This applies both to those that<br />

are fully regulated and those that fall under IATA special<br />

provision A45. For details, go to fedex.com and enter keyword<br />

“dangerous goods,” then select Dangerous-Goods Transport.<br />

(Special requirements also apply for shipping lithium batteries<br />

[UN 3090] that are rechargeable; see fedex.com for details.)<br />

i. If the recipient refuses a package or freight piece containing<br />

dangerous goods, or the package leaks or is damaged, it will<br />

be returned to the shipper if possible. If the shipper refuses<br />

to accept the returned shipment or it cannot be returned<br />

because of leakage or damage due to faulty packaging, the<br />

shipper is responsible for and agrees to reimburse and otherwise<br />

indemnify <strong>FedEx</strong> for all costs, fees, and expenses it<br />

incurs in connection with the cleanup and disposal of the<br />

package or freight piece. The shipper agrees to indemnify<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> for any and all costs, fees and expenses <strong>FedEx</strong> incurs<br />

as a result of the shipper’s failure to comply with <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Dangerous Goods shipping requirements.<br />

j. We have the right to refuse any package or freight piece with<br />

an odor or any package that is wet or leaking. If a dangerousgoods<br />

shipment damages or contaminates any property, the<br />

shipper is solely responsible for and will reimburse and indemnify<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> for any and all costs, fees and expenses it incurs in<br />

connection with the cleanup of such damage or contamination.<br />

k. Not all <strong>FedEx</strong> locations accept dangerous goods, and we<br />

reserve the right to refuse dangerous goods at any location<br />

where they cannot be accepted in accordance with applicable<br />

law. Dangerous-goods shipments, including dry ice and<br />

diagnostic-specimen shipments, are prohibited in <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Express Drop Box locations, at <strong>FedEx</strong> Kinko’s Office and<br />

Print Center locations and at unstaffed <strong>FedEx</strong> locations.<br />

l. Note: We are required by law to report improperly declared<br />

or undeclared shipments of dangerous goods to the U.S.<br />

Department of Transportation (DOT). Penalties for such<br />

shipments may include fines up to US$500,000 and five years<br />

in jail. The DOT/ Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires<br />

every shipper to have job-specific dangerous-goods training<br />

prior to tendering a dangerous-goods shipment to <strong>FedEx</strong> or<br />

another air carrier.<br />

m.Dangerous goods may not be rerouted to an address other<br />

than the original intended recipient’s address provided by the<br />

25<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

shipper. (Note: Shipments may be made available as hold for<br />

pickup or be returned to the sender.)<br />

n. We are required to maintain proper segregation of incompatible<br />

dangerous goods on all vehicles and aircraft. This necessity<br />

may cause the shipment to move on the next available truck<br />

route or flight on which proper segregation can be maintained.<br />

o. If you have questions regarding shipments of dangerous goods,<br />

you may call 1.800.Go<strong>FedEx</strong> 1.800.463.3339 and press 81 to<br />

connect to our Dangerous Goods/Hazardous Materials<br />

Hotline for assistance.<br />

Dimensional Weight (Volumetric Weight)<br />

Transportation charges may be assessed based on the International<br />

Air Transport Association (IATA) volumetric standard. Dimensionalweight<br />

pricing is applicable on a per-shipment basis to all shipments<br />

in customer packaging. <strong>FedEx</strong> packaging may also be subject<br />

to dimensional-weight pricing.<br />

Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying length by width<br />

by height of each package (all in inches) and dividing by 166<br />

(divide by 194 for shipments to Puerto Rico). See the Dimensional<br />

Weight description in the Services and Rates section of the <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Service Guide or <strong>FedEx</strong> Retail Counter Rates Book for additional<br />

details. If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight,<br />

charges based on the dimensional weight will be assessed.<br />

Customers using <strong>FedEx</strong> electronic shipping systems who fail to<br />

apply the dimensional-weight calculation to a package may be<br />

assessed dimensional-weight charges by <strong>FedEx</strong>.<br />

Duties and Taxes<br />

a. In order to complete clearance of certain items through customs,<br />

we may be required to advance on your behalf certain duties<br />

and taxes as assessed by customs officials. For all shipments<br />

we may contact the payer before clearance is complete to<br />

confirm the arrangements for reimbursing us. At our sole discretion,<br />

we may require confirmation of reimbursement<br />

arrangements as a condition to completion of clearance and<br />

delivery including, but not limited to, cases of deliveries to<br />

recipients that we believe are not creditworthy and of shipments<br />

with high declared values.<br />

b. Duties and taxes may generally be billed to the shipper, the<br />

recipient or a third party. If the shipper fails to designate a<br />

payer on the air waybill, duties and taxes will automatically<br />

be billed to the recipient where allowed. Bill Sender Duties<br />

and Taxes and Bill Third Party Duties and Taxes are options<br />

available only for deliveries to specified locations (call <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

Express International Customer Service at 1.800.247.4747.<br />

REGARDLESS OF ANY PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS TO THE<br />

CONTRARY, THE SHIPPER IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE<br />

FOR PAYMENT OF DUTIES AND TAXES IF PAYMENT IS NOT<br />

RECEIVED.


Duties and Taxes (continued)<br />

If transportation charges for a shipment are billed to a credit<br />

card, <strong>FedEx</strong> reserves the right to also settle uncollected<br />

duties and taxes charges associated with that shipment to the<br />

credit card account.<br />

c. In the event we advance duties, taxes or other fees, including<br />

the U.S. Merchandise Processing Fee, on behalf of the payer,<br />

the payer will be assessed a surcharge based on a flat rate<br />

or a percentage of the total amount advanced. This surcharge<br />

will vary depending upon the destination country. For U.S. import<br />

shipments, the surcharge is either 2 percent of the total amount<br />

advanced or US$5, whichever is greater.<br />

d. Shipments marked Bill Recipient Duties and Taxes may be<br />

delayed if we are not able to reach the recipient to confirm<br />

that we will be reimbursed for any amounts advanced, and<br />

the money-back guarantee will not apply in these cases.<br />

(See the Liabilities Not Assumed and Money-Back Guarantee<br />

Policy sections.)<br />

e. If a recipient refuses to pay the duties and taxes, we may<br />

contact the shipper. If the shipper refuses to make satisfactory<br />

arrangements to reimburse us, the shipment may be returned<br />

to the shipper or placed into a general order warehouse or a<br />

customs-bonded warehouse. The shipper must then pay both<br />

the original transportation charges and the return charges. If<br />

we advanced any amounts as duties and taxes at either the<br />

original destination or upon return, the shipper shall also be<br />

liable for such amounts.<br />

f. Payment for duties and taxes will be made by one of the following<br />

means at the sole discretion of <strong>FedEx</strong>: cash, check (personal<br />

or business, provided valid identification is offered), money<br />

order, traveler’s check, or debit or deferment account. <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

does not accept prepayment of duties and taxes at the time of<br />

shipment. Payment of duties and taxes may not be made by<br />

credit card.<br />

g. In the event that we require confirmation of duties and taxes<br />

reimbursement arrangements from the recipient, we will<br />

attempt to contact the recipient no later than 12 p.m. on the<br />

day the shipment is available for customs clearance in the<br />

destination country and inform the recipient of the estimated<br />

duties and taxes amount. If an arrangement satisfactory to us<br />

is made, the shipment will then be cleared through customs<br />

and delivered. If the shipment clears customs by 5 p.m. on the<br />

day arrangements are confirmed, delivery will be scheduled<br />

for the next business day by 5 p.m. or the end of the local<br />

business day. In the event we have cleared packages on your<br />

behalf and you do not have credit arrangements with <strong>FedEx</strong>,<br />

payment may be required prior to the release of your shipment.<br />

h. In the event the accuracy or propriety of duties and taxes<br />

assessed on a shipment is disputed, <strong>FedEx</strong> or its designated<br />

broker may review the shipping documents tendered with the<br />

shipment. If <strong>FedEx</strong> determines that the duties and taxes were<br />

properly assessed, the shipper agrees to pay the duties and<br />

taxes.<br />

inspect any shipment at any time.<br />

Invalid or No Account Number<br />

If Bill Sender is marked on the Commercial Bill of Lading (CBL)<br />

or Government Bill of Lading (GBL) and no account number is<br />

indicated, <strong>FedEx</strong> will attempt to determine the correct account<br />

number from our records and bill the account number for all<br />

charges and fees, plus the accessorial billing fee. If we cannot<br />

determine the correct account number from our records, the<br />

transportation charges, plus the accessorial billing fee, will be<br />

billed to the shipper without an account number, and the government<br />

rate will not be allowed.<br />

If the account number is incomplete, inaccurate, invalid or<br />

deleted, and the <strong>FedEx</strong> billing department is able to determine<br />

the correct number from our records, all charges and fees, plus<br />

the accessorial billing fee, will be billed to the shipper, and the<br />

government rate will be applied. If the correct account number<br />

cannot be determined from our records, all charges and fees,<br />

plus the accessorial billing fee, will be billed to the shipper and


Invalid or No Account Number (continued)<br />

transactions, if the third-party account number on the shipping<br />

document is incomplete, inaccurate, invalid or deleted, all charges<br />

and fees, plus the accessorial billing fee, will be billed to the<br />

shipper. If we can determine the shipper’s correct account number<br />

from our records, it will be used for billing, and the government<br />

rate will apply. If billed to shipper and the shipper’s correct<br />

account number cannot be determined from our records, the<br />

government rate will not be allowed.<br />

The accessorial billing fee will be applied only once for each<br />

shipping document which has an account number deficiency.<br />

Money-Back Guarantee Policy*<br />

We offer a money-back guarantee for <strong>FedEx</strong> International Priority<br />

service. This guarantee can be suspended or revoked at our sole<br />

discretion without prior notice to you. For U.S.-based payers, we<br />

will, at our option, and upon request, either refund or credit to the<br />

applicable invoice only your transportation charges if we deliver<br />

a shipment 60 seconds or more after the applicable delivery commitment<br />

time. The following limitations apply:<br />

a. Where customs or other regulatory agency clearances are<br />

delayed due to errors or omissions in your documentation, our<br />

delivery commitment time is modified by adding one business<br />

day for each day (or portion thereof) that such clearances are<br />

delayed. The money-back guarantee does not apply in the event<br />

of other customs or regulatory delays, including, but not limited<br />

to, any delays resulting from compliance with advance notice<br />

or prior notice requirements.<br />

with all of the following:<br />

1. Commodity being shipped.<br />

2. Date of the shipment.<br />

3. Exact destination.<br />

4. Weight of the shipment.<br />

5. Value of the shipment.<br />

* Offer void where prohibited by law.<br />

29<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

c. If the shipper or recipient specifies a customs broker other than<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> or the broker selected by <strong>FedEx</strong> (where this service is<br />

available), notification may be given to the broker by 12 p.m.<br />

on the first business day the shipment is available for customs<br />

clearance in the destination country, and such notification<br />

constitutes timely delivery. If the actual shipment is released<br />

to the broker in-bond, our responsibility terminates at the time<br />

we relinquish custody of the shipment to the broker.<br />

However, if we retain custody of the shipment and are requested<br />

to deliver the shipment, following receipt of the appropriate<br />

customs release paperwork from another customs broker<br />

following customs or other regulatory clearances, our delivery<br />

commitment time is modified by adding one business day for<br />

each day (or portion thereof) that our receipt of the paperwork<br />

is delayed.<br />

d. To qualify for a refund or credit due to a service failure, you must<br />

notify us of the service failure and request a refund or credit of<br />

your transportation charges in compliance with the conditions<br />

required delivery date.<br />

4. A partial payment against an invoice is not considered a<br />

request for invoice adjustment or notice of a refund request.<br />

payment is not considered a request for an invoice adjustment<br />

or notice of a refund request if the reason relates to<br />

a service failure.<br />

e. Notification of a service failure must include the account number,<br />

if any, the air waybill number or <strong>FedEx</strong> tracking number, the date<br />

1. Proof of timely delivery, consisting of the date and time of<br />

delivery, and name of the person who signed for the shipment,<br />

or<br />

2. Service-exception information reflecting that the failure to<br />

deliver timely resulted from circumstances described under<br />

the Liabilities Not Assumed section.<br />

h. We are not obligated to respond if your request is not<br />

i. A service failure will not be deemed to have occurred if a bill-to<br />

account number was provided at the time of shipment that was<br />

not in good credit standing and the package was held until<br />

alternate payment arrangements were secured.<br />

j. Only one refund or credit is permitted per package. In the case<br />

of multiple-package shipments, this money-back guarantee will<br />

apply to every package in the shipment. If a service failure<br />

occurs for any package within the shipment, a refund or credit<br />

will be given only for the portion of the transportation charges<br />

applicable to that package.<br />

k. A refund or credit will be given only if complete recipient<br />

information was provided at the time of tender to <strong>FedEx</strong>.<br />

Complete recipient information must be provided on either the<br />

air waybill or through any <strong>FedEx</strong> electronic shipping device.<br />

l. A refund or credit will not be given for shipments delayed due<br />

to incorrect addresses or to the unavailability or refusal of a<br />

person to accept delivery, whether or not the package is<br />

returned to the shipper, or sign for the package, or due to any<br />

of the causes described under the Liabilities Not Assumed<br />

section.<br />

m.This money-back guarantee does not apply to requests for<br />

invoice adjustment based on overcharges (see the Billing<br />

addresses acceptable for delivery (see the Post Office Box<br />

Addresses section).<br />

charges paid by U.S.-based payers and does not apply to<br />

duties, taxes or other charges, including ancillary service<br />

fees.<br />

s. For <strong>FedEx</strong> International Priority DirectDistribution and <strong>FedEx</strong><br />

International Priority DirectDistribution Freight, the money-back<br />

30<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

guarantee for shipment delays is prorated based on the number<br />

and weight of packages within the shipment where delivery is<br />

not completed by the service commitment.<br />

t. This money-back guarantee does not apply to undeliverable or<br />

returned shipments, or to any shipment containing dangerous<br />

goods or dry ice.<br />

caused by adherence to <strong>FedEx</strong> policies regarding the payment<br />

of duties and taxes prior to customs clearance or at delivery.<br />

v. For <strong>FedEx</strong> International Broker Select shipments, if the shipper<br />

or recipient specifies a customs broker other than <strong>FedEx</strong> or our<br />

designated broker (where this option is available) and if the<br />

shipment is to be released to the designated broker in-bond,<br />

our delivery commitment is met if we notify the broker of the<br />

availability of the shipment by 12 p.m. on the first business day<br />

the shipment is scheduled to be available for customs clearance<br />

in the destination country.<br />

However, if the shipper or recipient specifies a customs broker<br />

other than <strong>FedEx</strong> or our designated broker and we retain custody<br />

of the shipment and are responsible for the delivery of the<br />

shipment following receipt of the appropriate customs release<br />

paperwork from another customs broker, our delivery commitment<br />

time is modified by adding one business day for<br />

each day (or portion thereof) that our receipt of such customs<br />

release paperwork is delayed due to inspection, sampling<br />

requirements, errors or omissions in your documentation, or<br />

acts, errors or omissions by the customs broker designated<br />

by the shipper or recipient.<br />

Express Freight international service, if the shipment was<br />

delivered within 90 minutes of the published delivery commitment<br />

time for the selected service and destination.

z. There are no delivery commitments for shipments on which<br />

the money-back guarantee is suspended.<br />

for safe transportation with ordinary care in handling in an<br />

express-transportation environment. Any articles susceptible<br />

pressure, must be adequately protected by proper<br />

packaging. <strong>FedEx</strong> assumes no liability for perishables or commodities<br />

pallet or other forkliftable base. Boxes should be stacked<br />

squarely on the skid without hanging over the edge, and the<br />

weight should be distributed evenly on the skid to avoid excess<br />

weight being placed on materials inside the cartons. Use 70gauge<br />

stretchwrap and pass a minimum of two bands (tightly<br />

secured) through the skid voids and around all cartons.<br />

must be included on the air waybill. If a valid telephone, fax or<br />

telex number is not provided, an address-correction special<br />

additional address research is often necessary, our normal delivery<br />

commitments and our money-back guarantee will not apply.<br />

Proof of Performance (Verbal)<br />

When requested by the shipper or recipient, verbal confirmation<br />

of delivery (date, time and name of person who signed for the<br />

shipment) is available. For shipments to many countries that we<br />

serve, this information is usually available by 12 a.m. local time<br />

in the country of delivery on the day of scheduled delivery.<br />

For <strong>FedEx</strong> International Next Flight service, a proof of delivery<br />

phone call to the shipper stating the date and time of delivery,<br />

and the name of the person who signed for the shipment will be<br />

performed for every shipment. Two attempts will be made to<br />

reach the shipper by telephone. A faxed proof of delivery will<br />

also be provided upon request by the shipper or the recipient.<br />

Proof of Performance (Written)<br />

When requested by the shipper or recipient within one year of the<br />

shipping date, we will, at our option, furnish a photostatic copy<br />

of the destination delivery record or electronically captured<br />

We assume no liability for our inability to provide a copy of the<br />

delivery record.<br />

signature may be available online at fedex.com for express<br />

deliveries made within the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.<br />

international locations upon request at no additional charge.<br />

However, if delivery of a shipment to a residential address in an<br />

international location (including a residence used as an office)<br />

cannot be completed on the initial attempt, we will, at our sole<br />

option, either reattempt delivery and/or hold the shipment at our<br />

facility until we contact the recipient for further delivery instructions.<br />

After three attempts to deliver and/or three attempts to notify<br />

the recipient, or five business days from the scheduled delivery<br />

date, whichever occurs first, the shipment will be considered<br />

undeliverable.<br />

Refusal or Rejection of Shipments<br />

We reserve the right to refuse, hold or return any shipment and<br />

may do so at our sole discretion and without liability to us. We<br />

will execute that right when (but not limited to cases in which):<br />

(1) the shipment may cause damage or delay to other shipments,<br />

property or personnel; (2) the shipment is likely to sustain damage<br />

or loss in transit because of improper packaging or otherwise;


Refusal or Rejection of Shipments (continued)<br />

(3) the shipment contains any prohibited items; (4) the account<br />

of the person or entity responsible for payment is not in good<br />

credit standing; or (5) when acceptance of the shipment may<br />

jeopardize our ability to provide service to other customers. We<br />

have no liability whatsoever for refusal or rejection of shipments.<br />

has been established by <strong>FedEx</strong> after pickup of your<br />

shipment.<br />

value for customs as indicated on the air waybill.<br />

Routing and Rerouting<br />

We will determine the routing of all shipments. Some shipments<br />

may be consolidated or forwarded by <strong>FedEx</strong> for transportation<br />

on foreign air carriers, or on either a charter or an interline basis<br />

as <strong>FedEx</strong> may determine. We reserve the right to divert any<br />

shipment (including use of other carriers) in order to facilitate<br />

its delivery.<br />

33<br />

Terms and Conditions<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> assumes no obligation to reroute any shipment to a third<br />

country, to carry the goods by any specified aircraft or over any<br />

particular route or to make connection at any point according to<br />

any schedules. You agree that <strong>FedEx</strong> may, without notice, substitute<br />

alternate carriers or aircraft, deviate from the route or<br />

routes, or cause the goods to be transported by motor vehicle.<br />

Dangerous goods may not be rerouted to an address other than<br />

the original intended recipient’s address provided by the shipper.<br />

(Note: Shipments may be made available as hold for pickup or<br />

be returned to the sender.)<br />

Any requested change to an address that is not a reroute or an<br />

address correction is a new shipment, and new shipping<br />

charges will apply.<br />

THERE ARE NO STOPPING PLACES THAT ARE AGREED TO AT<br />

THE TIME OF THE TENDER OF THE SHIPMENT, AND WE RESERVE<br />

THE RIGHT TO ROUTE THE SHIPMENT IN ANY WAY WE DEEM<br />

APPROPRIATE.<br />

Storage Charges<br />

A storage charge may apply to any shipment that is unclaimed or<br />

otherwise left in a <strong>FedEx</strong> location for more than 48 hours following<br />

notice to the recipient or designated broker of the shipment’s<br />

availability or of additional documentation required for regulatory<br />

clearances.<br />

Undeliverable Shipments (continued)<br />

Should a shipment be classified as undeliverable or unidentifiable,<br />

the following guidelines apply:<br />

a. If a shipment is undeliverable for any reason, we may attempt<br />

to notify the shipper to arrange for the return of the shipment<br />

if local customs regulations will allow. If the shipper cannot<br />

be contacted within five business days, we may place the<br />

shipment in a general order warehouse or a customs-bonded<br />

warehouse or will dispose of the shipment. In any event, if a<br />

package cannot be delivered, cleared through customs or<br />

returned, the package may be transferred or disposed of by<br />

<strong>FedEx</strong> at its discretion and at any location. The shipper, if<br />

known, agrees to pay any costs incurred in returning, storing<br />

or disposing of an undeliverable shipment.<br />

b. For shipments returned from international points to the U.S.,<br />

return charges and fees will be assessed to the original shipper,<br />

along with the original charges and fees. Also included will<br />

be any other charges incurred by us, including, but not limited<br />

to, duties, taxes, ancillary clearance fees and storage fees, if<br />

applicable. For returned shipments containing dangerous goods,<br />

the shipper must supply a completed return air waybill and all<br />

other required documents.<br />

c. Shipments that cannot be returned due to local regulatory<br />

constraints will either be placed in a general order warehouse<br />

or a customs-bonded warehouse or disposed of at our sole<br />

discretion and at any location. The shipper agrees to pay any<br />

costs incurred by <strong>FedEx</strong> in such placement or disposal.<br />
