Notice to the Trade dated May 7, 2009 - Advance Purchases on Inv. 069
TO: All Cooperating Sponsors, their Freight Forwarders, Ocean Carriers, and their Brokers
DATE: May 7, 2009
RE: Invitation 069 and the Advance Purchase of P.L. 480 Title II Mark and Count (packaged) Cargoes on Invitation 069
Please be advised that Invitation 069 will include cargoes with four different FAS load port availability dates. In addition to cargoes advertised for August 20, 2009 loading availability, Invitation 069 will also include cargoes with FAS load port availability dates of September 20, October 20, and November 20, 2009.
Cooperating Sponsors who advertise cargo with September or October or November loading availability should clearly indicate in the freight RFP which cargoes are for August 20 loading availability and which cargoes are for each of the later loading availability dates in September or October or November.
Ocean Carriers and their Brokers are advised to carefully match all parcels including the advance purchase parcels by CR number, when entering freight rates into FBES to ensure that they bid on cargoes with the correct loading availability date. This is especially important when entering combination freight proposals.
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Ms. Denise Scherl at 202-712-0101.
