receipt and contact the carrier
immediately. Notify the Siemens
Sales Office of any shortages or

Shipping Damage Claim Procedure
Note: Improper treatment by
consignee of visible shipping
damage prior to signing the delivery
receipt can determine the outcome
of the damage claim to be filed.
Notification to carrier within the 15
day limit on concealed damage is
essential if loss resulting from
unsettled claims is to be eliminated
or minimized.
1. When shipment arrives, note
whether equipment is properly
protected from the elements. Note
trailer number on which the
equipment arrived. Note blocking of
equipment. During unloading make
sure count agrees with delivery
receipt.
2. Make immediate inspection for
visible damage upon arrival, and
prior to disturbing or removing
packaging or protective wrapping.
This should be done prior to
unloading when possible. When
total inspection cannot be made on
the vehicle prior to unloading, close
inspection during unloading must be
maintained and visible damage
noted on the delivery receipt. Take
pictures when possible.
3. Any visible damage must be
noted on the delivery receipt and
acknowledged with the driver's
signature.The damage should be
detailed as much as possible.It is
essential that a notation "Possible
internal damage, subject to
inspection" be included on delivery
receipt with damage noted, the
shipment should not be signed for
by the consignee or his agent.
4. Notify the Siemens sales office
immediately of any damage.
5. Arrange for a carrier inspection
of damage immediately.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove
equipment from the place it was
set when unloading. Be sure this
location is properly protected to
ensure further damage will not
occur. Equipment must be inspected
by carrier prior to handling after
receipt. This eliminates loss due to
claims by carrier that equipment was
damaged or further damaged on site
after unloading.
6. Be sure equipment is properly
protected from any further damage
by covering it properly after
unloading.
7. If practical, make further
inspection for possible concealed
damage while carrier inspector is
on site. If inspection for concealed
damage is not practical at the time
the carrier inspector is present, it
must be done within 15 days of
receipt of equipment. If concealed
damage is found, the carrier must be
notified and inspection made prior to
taking any corrective action to repair.
Also notify the Siemens sales office
immediately.
