2. Background
In case Customs-clearance location for the straight shipment is changed to Baraki
with a request made by the consignee or his agent after the shipment arrives at
Narita airport, the shipment shall be reforwarded to Baraki by the airport warehouse,
which is also responsible for storing the shipments for delivery at Narita. In
effect, the consignee shall receive the shipment at Baraki far more later than
if an advance arrangement had been made before arrival of the flight. |
