TAG staff examines cargo descriptions from documents and select containers to inspect before delivery. Our inspectors then ensure that the cargo matches the description in the documentation. When incorrectly rated cargo/ containers are located, we bill the correct amount and hold the container until the correct freight payment is received. This service helps provide a level playing field for all customers. An executive from a major ocean carrier remarked “the TAG inspection service saves the trade millions of dollars annually!”

Trained and certified TAG inspectors ensure that Federal Hazardous Materials rules are complied with, and containers are then properly documented and placarded for ocean transportation. When authorized by tariff rules, TAG staff applies fines to shippers found not in compliance. This program can potentially save carriers from being located at fault by the USCG.
