4. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

Ownership and Packaging:

The Customer warrants that it is either the owner or the authorized agent of the owner of the Goods and accepts these terms on behalf of all interested parties.

All applicable transportation and hazardous materials laws must be followed.

Imports:

Before the entry of imported Goods, the Customer shall provide Beyond Logix LLC with complete and accurate commercial invoices and documentation sufficient for customs clearance and classification. If such documentation is delayed or incomplete, Beyond Logix LLC may act using its best judgment and shall not be required to advance customs duties or fees.

Prior to export, the Customer shall supply accurate commercial invoices, consular declarations, weights, values, and other required data consistent with the laws of both the origin and destination countries.
