Re: Jailed For Sending Chemicals!

The freight forwarder is responsible for verifying what the goods are at time of booking, so in theory they are liable for the fine and costs.
However, if it is a container with chemicals in it, and it is declared as holy water (True, happened with a shipment we sent to Kenya once), then the forwarder isnt likely to open it up and have a sniff.
