OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
In all transactions, the consignee will continue to be the member EXPORTER. The role of Indus Trade Services FZE is merely that of a Service Provider. Goods would be sent by the member-exporter to the FZE zone (air/sea) and stored in the FZE godown on behalf of the exporter.
Role of ITS would be to facilitate any further activity on behalf of the member and to monitor the services provided by different agents:
E.g. the member instructs the bulk cargo broken down into smaller packages for delivery to different buyers, the ITS would identify the agent who could undertake this activity on behalf of the exporter. Either the same agent or a different agent would deliver these to the destined location. At all times, the goods would be the property and responsibility of the exporter and ITS would be acting on his/her behalf.
Similarly for re-export, the ITS would instruct the agent to prepare documents for re-export, clear the custom formalities as a forwarding agent and deliver the goods to the shipping lines for onward freighting.
All costs for the operations and activities of the agent would be to the account of the member-exporter.
Domestic Sale: If goods are to be delivered locally in UAE, the appointed agency or logistics company would clear the goods on behalf of the exporter, pay the requisite Custom duty to Saif Zone and deliver to the appropriate buyer/ retailer.
Every member exporter will have a small display counter carrying samples and their product catalogue. They can direct their buyer to the FZE and the personnel posted will do the necessary coordination and send the feedback to the client.
All financial transaction and responsibility for the transactions would be negotiated and concluded directly by the member exporter and buyer. ITS could facilitate the process, if required and also provide relevant advice but will not be directly involved in the transaction.
