The possibility to fumigate in transit has saved the grain traders from the excessive expenses in load ports, but at the same time it has brought the risk of demurrage and other losses arising as a result of fumigation failures. Whenever fumigation failure occurs it is usually considered to be the sole responsibility of the fumigator. However, this is not always true because successful fumigation relies on all parties involved in fumigation process.

Fumigation failures may be the result of factors outside the fumigator’s control, but within the control of one or more of the other parties involved with the fumigation process, such as: the customer (the person or organization requesting the fumigation service); the transporter; regulatory agencies at destination. That’s why the success of in-transit fumigation is always the result of teamwork of the parties involved into the whole process.

In-transit fumigation therefore became an international product that in full-value cannot be sold within borders of origin country.

Commercially speaking the majority of actual in-transit fumigation arrangements conditionally compares with FOB (Free On Board) INCOTERMS, where responsibility of the seller (fumigator) ends at load port. GREENCO LTD. is offering in-transit fumigation service on conditions similar to CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) INCOTERMS with responsibility of the seller (fumigator) till in-transit fumigated goods are discharged.
