Effinger Mr. L. Fetkowitz Mr. A. R. Randall Dr. A. B. Steele Domestic Bags - Export This is to clarify the problems associated with shipping Dispersion resins in domestic bags to export customers. The current Dispersion domestic bag consists of three (3) plys - 60, 50, 70 - for a total basis weight of 180 pounds while the export bag is five (5) plys - 50, 50, 50, 50, 70 - for a total basis weight of 270 pounds. Accordingly, the problems associated with using domestic bags are as follows: 1. Since containerized shipments generally are packed loose, higher pay load per container and a tighter fit, the palletized domestic loads will have to be broken down. Generally, when this is done, some of the outer plys will be torn leaving a two (2) ply 110 pound basis weight bag. 2. Not all ports accept or can handle containerized freight, thus each order would have to be checked out. 3. Existing Insurance covers only the movement in export bags. Insurance can be obtained but at a much higher premium. 4. While trips in the container may be made with minimal damage, local handling would be a problem with a light bag. If its original destina tion is a warehouse, the bags could be handled eight to ten times before they arrive at their final destination. After the problems we had with damaged bags in Belgium, which got Mr. Wlshart Involved, I do not feel we should knowingly create a similar problem. The export department, however, may if they choose, elect to take the risk and ship domestic bags overseas. It is my opinion that if they do so it should be understood that excessive damage is their responsibility and they should have no recourse to us, ucc 024535 Feb- 6, 1970 - Info from E. T.
