• Vendor to Pay Sea/Air Difference:
  • If the vendor is only responsible for paying the sea/air freight difference, the proportional ocean freight shall be offset against the air freight invoice and charged back to the vendor.
  • Calculating proportional sea freight is based on the cubic volume of the merchandise to be shipped and the applicable air service rates from the Port of Origin to the destination and in place at the time the shipment is made. These rates fluctuate periodically and are based upon URBN rates through its authorized Air Freight Forwarders.

A DELIVERY OF CARGO IS DEEMED COMPLETE ONLY AFTER PHYSICAL HANDOVER OF GOODS AND RECEIPT OF COMPLETE DOCUMENTS BY THE NOMINATED AIR FREIGHT FORWARDER.

ALERTS

Failure to follow all booking procedures:

• Scenarios where Vendor fails to submit a standard booking form and/or tender PO(s) late to Air Freight Forwarder, will result in Vendor being held liable for compensating URBN for any/all losses of revenue due to the unnecessary delays at port of clearance and/or lack of visibility to shipment.
