Accurately estimate the Goods’ weight within 5% accuracy.

5) Charges:
The Consignor is responsible for all proper charges, including transport, storage, administrative fees, and interest on overdue payments at 16.5% annually. Debt collection fees, at 7.5% of the collected amount, will be charged to the Consignor for overdue payments.
