Version 1.5 - October 21, 2022 contractor/supplier. For shipments with a destination within the Netherlands, DSV will act and charge the Client as if Incoterm2010 FCA applied to the relationship between the Client and its supplier. Article 4. Charges, invoicing and payment 1. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, all prices agreed between DSV and the Client are valid up to and including 31 December of the year in which they are quoted by DSV. 2. DSV is entitled to alter its prices at any time that it becomes no longer reasonable to expect DSV to perform the contract for the originally agreed price. Such a situation may arise if, for example, the government imposes new duties or increases the amount or scope of existing duties or if, in the reasonable opinion of DSV, fluctuations in the market justify this. 3. DSV is entitled to pass on any increases in government taxes, charges, and duties to the Client. 4. If any offer from DSV includes scales of charges, the maximum charge for one band on the scale will apply as the minimum charge for the next band. 5. DSV will send invoices to the Client digitally by email (PDF) or via EDI. 6. Invoices must be paid within 14 days of the invoice date in a manner specified by DSV and in the currency invoiced. 7. Customs duties, taxes and other government duties must be paid to DSV in advance of transportation. 8. If such payments, including customs duties, taxes and other government duties, are not made in advance, they will be subsequently charged to the Client together with a surcharge of 3%. Article 5. Dimensions and volumes 1. The chargeable weight will be calculated by DSV using the following conversion factors: a. 1 cubic metre (m3) has a weight of 330 kg. b. 1 loading metre (ldm) has a weight of 1,850 kg. c. 1 loading metre (ldm) has a volume of 5.6 cubic metres (m3). 2. DSV bases its charges on the actual weight of the shipment, unless the volume of the shipment in cubic metres x 330 (kg) or in loading metres x 1850 (kg) results in a greater amount, in which case DSV will base its charges on this greater amount. 3. If the size of the container of the goods deviates from the data which has been provided by the Client, DSV has the right to adjust the price to the level which is valid for that specific container. 4. The term ‘long item’ includes any shipment of any number of packages, whereby at least one package is at least 2.40 metres in length. Article 6. Surcharges and other costs Unless agreed otherwise in writing, an offer does not include: a. Fuel surcharge(s). b. Currency Adjustment Factor (CAF). c. Maut and road tolls surcharges. d. Marpol surcharge. e. ADR surcharge for the transportation of hazardous materials. f. Surcharge for conditioned transportation (Temperature Controlled and Keep from Freezing) g. Length surcharge for transportation of goods longer than 2.40 m.
