Re: Jailed For Sending Chemicals!
The Freight Forwarder is usually presented with a commercial invoice and packing list. If the goods are regulated, they must be accompanied by an IATA Dangerous Goods Declaration. If the Forwarder handles IATA DG Shipments he/she must have IATA approved training.
Obviously the shipper in this instance must have set out to deceive, and the paperwork he tendered must have deliberately misled the Forwarder, otherwise I'm sure the Forwarder would at least be hit with serious punitive action, or joining the shipper in the slammer.
If the CAA did not take action against the Forwarder, they must be of the opinion he/she is innocent.
