Terms

(a) In the event that Landmark Global is obliged to fulfill customs formalities, this will be done on Customer’s behalf and at Customer’s expense, either by Landmark Global itself or by a designated agent.

(b) Where Landmark Global acts as a customs broker/agent on behalf of Customer under the authority of a power of attorney and appended or related terms and conditions that govern the provision by Landmark Global of customs broker/agency services to Customer, such power of attorney and appended or related terms and conditions govern the provision of customs brokerage services by Landmark Global to Customer, and will prevail over the terms of these Customs Terms and Conditions to the extent of any inconsistency.

(c) Customer, or Customer’s customer, as the case may be, is and will remain the importer of the shipments in question regardless of whether Landmark Global has obtained customs clearance in lieu of the importer or otherwise has cleared or accounted for the shipments by using Landmark Global’s own importer account or in any other manner. Where Customer’s customer is the importer or owner of the shipments, Customer remains fully liable for the Excluded Costs.

(d) An administrative charge can be levied by Landmark Global for shipments that, upon inspection of Landmark Global’s officials, designated agent, or the competent authorities, are found to be undeclared or underdeclared in value, or to contain incorrect or missing customs documents or information. This charge will be levied in addition to any return charge to Customer. Additional administration charges and/or disbursement fees may also be levied by Landmark Global in connection with any casual refund programs of any customs authority the Customer has requested and authorized Landmark Global itself or its designated agent to submit and receive casual refund claims and payments on behalf of the Customer under and in accordance with such casual refund program.

(e) Unless otherwise stated, if applicable, duty and/or tax is converted and invoiced in USD. A 3.95% disbursement fee is also applicable to any duty and/or tax outlaid on Customer’s behalf.

(f) Requests for refunds of taxes, duties, fees, retributions or charges invoiced by competent authorities with regard to undelivered shipments, general returns or incorrect data will have to be agreed on a case by case basis between Landmark Global and the Customer.

(a) Customer is exclusively liable for compliance with customs formalities and any applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to import and export regulations of the origin, destination and transit countries. Customer acknowledges it is fully liable to civil and/or criminal penalties and/or prosecution if it makes untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading declarations about the content of shipments, including, without limitation, the values, origin and classifications (including harmonized systems codes) of the contents of all shipments. If Customer makes untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading declarations about the content of shipments, Landmark Global has the right to terminate the Services Agreement unilaterally by registered letter.

(b) Where applicable, Customer is responsible to have the valid certificates or other proof of origin to support any preferential tariff treatment applications claimed on import documentation or required to fulfill any other customs formalities, and Customer agrees that these certificates will be made available if requested by Landmark Global or any Applicable Authority. Customer shall also promptly present, furnish and deliver to Landmark Global and/or any Applicable Authority, as applicable, as and when requested, required or otherwise desired by Landmark Global and/or the Applicable Authority, original hard copies or other forms of documentation to support any casual refund claims and/or payments, including (without limitation) documents evidencing the import of the goods, the accounting for such goods with the Applicable Authority (including, without limitation, the details regarding the duty and taxes paid for such goods), the shipping and delivery documents for such goods, the return of those goods by the buyer thereof, the credit note issued by the Company to the buyer of the goods, the refund claim and other original import and export documentation in connection with the import and export of such returned goods.

The Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that its failure to promptly respond to Landmark Global may cause AMPS, penalties and other special charges, fees or damages to be imposed by an Applicable Authority against Landmark Global and /or its designated agent, and that the Customer is solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Landmark Global and its designated agent harmless against all such amounts pursuant to Sections 2(f) and 4 hereof.

(c) In case the Customer has chosen services including customs clearance, it is the Customer’s obligation to grant, or to ensure that the Receiver will grant (at the latest at the moment of conclusion of the sales contract between the Customer and the Receiver), a written, irrevocable and unconditional power of attorney (legal permission) to Landmark Global or its designated agent, to act on behalf, at the expense and at the risk of the Customer, or as the case may be, the Receiver, to undertake the following actions:

• to fulfill all customs formalities (including but not limited to the arrangement of the importation of each Harmonized systems code shipped by the Customer, the assignment and amendment of Harmonized System classification codes and any other product or service codes, the payment of any duties or taxes required under applicable laws and regulations, the management of any dispute with all relevant customs and revenue authorities regarding customs classifications, applicable duties and/or taxes and the completion of all required documents to this end);

Landmark Global will be fully entitled to all repayments, remissions and refunds, including all interests, obtained under this article.

(d) It is the Customer’s full and sole responsibility to provide Landmark Global with a power of attorney which is complete, valid as to the form, content, language, etc. and acceptable for the relevant customs authorities.

(e) Under no circumstances shall such power of attorney, granted by the Customer or the Receiver, create a direct contractual relation between Landmark Global and the Receiver or allow the Receiver to create or assume rights or obligations on behalf of Landmark Global.

(f) In case of failure to provide the above mentioned power of attorney or of any other non-compliance with this article, the Customer shall remain fully and solely liable for, and shall indemnify Landmark Global for all duties and taxes, and protect, defend and hold harmless Landmark Global against any and all claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, damages, costs or other consequences as a result of the non-compliance to these customs provisions, including but not limited to:
