Warum wir beim Verladen prüfen, nicht bei der Ankunft
Ein Qualitätsstreit nach der Ankunft kostet beide Seiten teuer. Die unabhängige Prüfung beim Verladen ist die billigste Versicherung im Handel.
When a cargo arrives off-specification, an argument begins that nobody wins: the buyer wants an allowance, the seller maintains the goods left in order, and the cargo itself sits at the port accruing demurrage.
The alternative is simpler
The specification is written down before anything is signed — protein, moisture, purity, packing — and the goods are inspected at loading by an independent surveyor both sides accept. The inspection certificate becomes part of the payment documents.
The cost is a fraction of one per cent of the cargo. A single dispute costs many times that, and losing a customer costs more than both.

Eine Anmerkung zur Fracht
The price of the goods is half the story. Freight decides the other half, and it is the half that gets forgotten.
