GLOSSARY

Customs tariff:

Schedules or rates of customs duties laid down for different goods imported or exported from the country. Schedules of duties for imports and exports are usually issued separately or as two sections in the same document. See also Customs duties.

DAF:

See Delivered at Frontier.

Dangerous/Hazardous goods:

Any cargo which under normal conditions of transportation can pose an unreasonable risk to health and safely of crew, other cargo and the ship, aircraft, etc. This includes goods classified as explosive, flammable, corrosive, combustible, oxidative, poisonous, compressed gases, toxics, unduly magnetised, biologicals and radiologicals, and substances associated therewith.

DDP:

See Delivered Duty Paid.

See Delivered Duty Unpaid.

Dead storage:

Goods stored which are not likely to be used for a long period of time.

Default:

Failure of a supplier or a buyer to comply with any one or more of the terms and conditions of a contract: See also Breach of contract.

Deficient material: Material found to be not conforming to the specifications as to design and quality and, therefore, not fit for the intended use. See also: Technical Specification. Delivered at frontier: Incoterm ‘Delivered at Frontier’ means that the supplier fulfills his

obligation to deliver when the goods have been made available, cleared for export, at the named point and place at the frontier, but before the customs border of the adjoining country. The term “frontier” may be used for any frontier including that of the country of export. Therefore, it is of vital importance that the frontier in question be defined precisely by always naming the point and place in the term. The term is primarily intended to be used when goods are to be carried by rail or road, but it may be used for any mode of transport. See also Incoterms.
