The high cost of undeclared dangerous goods

MSC has announced that in light of recent near-miss incidents, they will increase their Hazardous Cargo Mis Declaration Fee (HCM) to USD 15,000/per container on all cargo from any to all destinations with immediate effect. The fee is applicable to misdeclared and undeclared hazardous goods.

Just a reminder of the importance of making sure you properly declare any dangerous goods in your shipment!
