Dear Nate,

After negotiated internally, we are going to take 2 steps to solve the matter to recoup the difference.

  1. For all the billings for the previous shipments (from Dec,2017 to Jun.2018) were issued to client already, we will issue an additional invoice of the fuel difference for each month. For example, from the first month (Dec,2017) we began to operate Kodak regular business, the initial fuel surcharge is usd0.58/kg. On Jan 2018, the fuel surcharge was adjusted to usd0.59/kg, so there are usd0.01/kg for fuel difference. We will issue the invoice for the difference usd0.01/kg x chargeable weight of all the shipments in Jan. And so forth, for each of the month. Please find the attachment that is all details about the amount of the fuel difference we will charge to Kodak. The freight invoice in Jul will be issued at the beginning of Aug, we will calculate the freight and issue the invoice to them as per above mentioned methodology.
  2. For the new shipment from Aug,01 ETD date. We will bill fixed ATA S/R and a monthly floating FSC to Kodak.

Please confirm it by return if we could keep going on.

Thanks & Best Regards.

Dear Nate,

After negotiating internally, we are going to take 2 steps to solve the matter to recoup the difference.

  1. For all the billings for the previous shipments (from Dec, 2017 to Jun, 2018) that were issued to client already, we will issue an additional invoice of the fuel difference for each month. For example, from the first month (Dec, 2017) we began to operate with Kodak regular business, the initial fuel surcharge was usd0.58/kg. On Jan 2018, the fuel surcharge was adjusted to usd0.59/kg, so there is a fuel difference of usd0.01/kg. We will issue the invoice for the difference of usd0.01/kg x chargeable weight for all the shipments in Jan. And so forth for each following month up to and including June 2018. Please find the attachment with all the details about the amount of the fuel difference we will charge to Kodak. The freight invoice in July will be issued at the beginning of Aug, we will calculate the freight including the new fuel surcharge,  and issue the invoice to them.
  2. For the new shipments from Aug,01 ETD date. We will bill fixed ATA S/R and a monthly floating FSC to Kodak.

Please reply and confirm, and we will proceed this way.

Thanks & Best Regards.
