CGLOGISTICS S.A. will be responsible for the collection of cc-charges only after having given the

in two (2) or more lots as separate shipments, where separate shipping documents have to be

issued and presented to local customs authorities.

The importer might hold ORIGIN OFFICE responsible for any problems and additional charges, in

case a shipment doesn’t arrive as manifested.

The origin station has to instruct the carriers accordingly in order to make sure that cargo is

shipped completely as booked.

2.3.4 Woodpacking Materials

The Ecuadorian Agricultural Health Service (SESA) has emitted the resolution No, 00012 in the

official register. By means of this resolution the technical procedures and the approving mark for

the wood packaging used in the international trade are established.

As a resolution of SESA from September 16 the fumigation of wood packaging is obligatory and it

is a requirement for entering and leaving cargo from the country.

As an agreement with this resolution the packagings that have been fumigated already will arrive

with a mark and a health service certificate from the origin country.

We provide you this information for you to take the requirements that are necessary for the

import and export of your packaging.

For more information you can visit the SESA web page www.sesa.mag.gov.ec

package of the shipment, is not allow to declared N/M, AS ADDRESS, etc.

particular trade or has been previously agreed with the buyer to make the goods available

unpacked. Subsequently, any extra charge that may incur for not complying the FAO’s ISPM 15
