Dicks Sporting Goods: Freight Collect Import Vendors - Updated Import Documentation Requirements

"Dick's Sporting Goods has made several changes to the Import Documentation Requirements section of our International Routing Guide. These changes go into effect for all freight collect import shipments loaded onboard a vessel on or after April 20, 2008.

The changes include: - All PO’s must be listed on the bill of lading: Vendors must list all shipped PO’s on their letter of instruction to the ocean carrier which is used to generate the bill of lading. Once issued, vendors are to ensure the bill of lading is accurate and complete. Change requests must be submitted to the carrier within 48 hours of receipt. - Container stuffing location on packing list: Vendors must add a ‘container stuffing location’ section to their packing list which states the name and address of the facility that stuffs and seals the ocean container. - Consolidator on packing list: Vendors must add a ‘consolidator’ section to their packing list which states the name and address of the consolidation facility if their goods are shipped through consolidation. Vendors failing to meet these requirements will be subject to a documentation chargeback of $350 per occurrence. Any questions regarding this new requirement can be directed to Dick’s import traffic department at mailto:importtraffic@dcsg.comor 724.273.4279. Further information is available at http://www.dsgfreight.com/.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
