Internationale Spedition und Logistik FA (Switzerland) key terms

A coordinated movement using relevant modes and terminal interfaces, requiring suitable first and last legs rather than judging only the main carriage.

A capacity-rating concept that requires the applicable tariff and assumptions, not a universal substitute for physical weight, dimensions, arrangement, or vehicle suitability.

The load borne by an axle under the actual distribution, which can be unsuitable even where the vehicle’s overall mass remains below its limit.

An agreed receiving interval whose feasibility depends on the whole chain, rather than proof that every journey and handover will automatically occur on time.

A full-container service arrangement that does not guarantee complete physical filling or remove packing, mass-verification, customs, and documentary-release obligations.

A less-than-container-load service involving consolidation with other consignments, adding relevant handling, compatibility, timing, and charge interfaces to the sea leg.

Verified gross mass of a packed container under the applicable process, including the relevant contents and tare rather than only net goods mass.

A non-negotiable maritime transport document whose release and party information must be understood rather than treated identically to every order bill of lading.

The Swiss tariff application supporting classification and relevant charges or other indications for the selected transaction inputs, without replacing every customs procedure.

Origin qualifying under an applicable preferential arrangement’s actual product and procedural conditions, distinct from a shipment’s dispatch country or purchase location.

Movement under the relevant customs transit procedure with applicable conditions and completion, rather than automatic release of the goods into domestic free circulation.

The relevant Passar process event distinguished from merely recording data, requiring the appropriate actual goods and transport linkage and operational conditions.

A tariff-related dimensional measure calculated under the applicable defined model, reflecting capacity use without physically changing the cargo’s gross mass.

The weight basis selected under the actual rating rules, which can differ from scale mass and requires correct dimensions, comparison, rounding, and minimum treatment.

Master and house air-waybill levels representing relevant contractual and shipment relationships, whose fields should be mapped rather than copied indiscriminately.

A portion of a shipment moved separately, requiring quantity and status tracking until the complete required delivery milestone has actually been reached.

Responsibility under the applicable carriage framework and facts, including relevant conditions, defenses, and limits rather than automatic full invoice-value payment.

Cover of specified cargo interests and risks under the actual policy terms, distinct from another party’s liability or a guarantee of every delivery outcome.

The portion assigned to the insured under the actual policy and claim basis, which must not be invented or assumed identical across all insurance arrangements.

Appropriate reasonable action to avoid additional loss while respecting safety, evidence, and the relevant claims process rather than undertaking reckless improvised repairs.

A dangerous-goods identification element within the applicable framework, not by itself permission for every package, quantity, route, condition, or mode.

An outer consolidation arrangement that can affect visibility and handling while leaving relevant requirements for the enclosed packages and cargo in place.

A stock-selection principle prioritizing relevant earliest expiry among suitable inventory, which can differ from the order of arrival or the lowest purchase price.

The ability to connect actual goods, lots, locations, times, conditions, and records so that events and affected units can be identified reliably.
