It will be forced to be handed over to the consignee of the bill of lading by the local customs or the port authority. 

 

The consignee can pick up the goods without providing the original bill of lading!

How it spreads?

 

Dengue often spreads when:

 

  • A mosquito (usually of the Aedes species) bites an infected human.

  • This mosquito is now infected with dengue fever. Mosquitoes are only carriers of the disease, it does not affect them as it does humans.

  • The mosquito bites a human. That human is now infected with the virus. He or she will then infect any unaffected mosquitoes that bite them.

 

04

Protection

 

Although no vaccine can protect against dengue fever yet. Only avoiding mosquito bites can prevent it!

  • Clothing: Reduce the amount of skin exposed by wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and socks, tucking pant legs into shoes or socks, and wearing a hat.

  • Mosquito repellents: Use a repellent with at least 10 percent concentration of diethyltoluamide (DEET), or a higher concentration for longer lengths of exposure. Avoid using DEET on young children.

  • Mosquito traps and nets: Nets treated with insecticide are more effective, otherwise the mosquito can bite through the net if the person is standing next to it. The insecticide will kill mosquitoes and other insects, and it will repel insects from entering the room.

  • Door and window screens: Structural barriers, such as screens or netting, can keep mosquitos out.

  • Avoid scents: Heavily scented soaps and perfumes may attract mosquitos.

  • Camping gear: Treat clothes, shoes, and camping gear with permethrin, or purchase clothes that have been pretreated.

  • Timing: Try to avoid being outside at dawn, dusk, and early evening.

  • Stagnant water: The Aedes mosquito breeds in clean, stagnant water. Checking for and removing stagnant water can help reduce the risk.
