Re: Jailed For Sending Chemicals!

Oooh, now im going to take offence at that. I think you will find that the larger a forwarder is, the more likely they are to miss shipments that are not fully IATA compliant.

Small forwarders tend to have less shipments to process, and are therefore more focussed on the freight that they have. That said, any freight forwarder worth his salt will be able to tell you ten different ways to get round customs and airline issues using pure semantics on the AWB.
I suppose it all comes down to the old adage about terrorism - you will never stop it happening if someone really wants to do it.
