NO COLOAD instruction for AXII - Axis International :
Kindly be informed we have taken AXII off the COLOAD list with immediate effect. So they are on prepaid cash first which means we would like you to send us the complete OBL and GBL information for the NAS container you want to load, so we can issue the invoice to the TSP and ask payment in our bank before NAS will give an OK to stuff and book with the shipping company. If this procedure is not followed we will be forced to keep the origin port agent liable for the ocean charges plus a penalty of 0,10 cents per cubic ft on top of the ocean freight.

PRIVATELY OWNED FIREARMS TO ITALY :
Referring to an incident with regard to a shipment with firearms to Italy, we have repeated below the IT country instructions :
"Shipping of any kind of weapon is prohibited. The Italian Government has imposed a ban on shipment of privately owned firearms to Italy. POF includes any weapon that is designed or can be readily converted to be used for attack, defense, sports, games or hunting by driving a projectile through the barrel. This includes air pistols, air rifles and firing replicas of antique firearms. Additionally, it includes spring-opening knives, fixed bowie knives, straight-edge razors, brass knuckles, blackjack devices, cans with sharpened points, pipes, chains, slings, metal spheres, and any other like weapon which may be used for offending a person. Italian law states that pocket knives may be carried, but the blade must not exceed two inches in length."
We suggest to screen the IT/SIC GBL's to avoid firearms being loaded. If you discover firearms in the shipment, please contact the TSP to have it removed hence avoiding costly procedures at destination and possible large fines.
