***
Kindly make sure to relay to shipping Lines that it is their responsibility to ensure releasing only Food Grade containers with no damage on the container under structure.
During last BHA/USAID visit to Djibouti, we have discussed matter with DCT & DCS Management and both confirmed that they can ensure only Food Grade containers are released for USAID export if Shipping Lines are clear and precise on their requirements.
BMMI upon receipt of ERO from shipping Line, would send our transporter to pick up the empty Container which are supposedly meeting above conditions. Empty Containers upon arrival would be inspected by BMMI, WFP Surveyor, USAID Surveyor, BMMI Surveyor and the fumigator.
- If container (A) is found fit for USAID cargo, BMMI upon stuffing & fumigating (where applicable) it would ensure delivering the full container (A) to port full as per our normal scope of work.
- If container (A) is found not fit for USAID cargo, container would be rejected and BMMI will NOT return it to Shipping Line.
- It is the responsibility of the Shipping Line to pick up the rejected container (A) and replace it with another Food Grade container (B).
- Shipping Line would need to arrange by its own means without any involvement from BMMI the replacement empty Food grade container (B) and take back the rejected container (A).
- Once the replacement container (B) is accepted after the inspection, stuffing & fumigation (where applicable) would take place and BMMI would deliver the full container (B) to port for export.

IF CARGO IS AWARDED TO A CONTAINER OPERATOR, USAID MAY GIVE PREFERENCE TO CARRIERS WITH EQUIPMENT ALREADY IN THE FREE ZONE AND/OR AT BMMI’s FACILITY.
