Need for Specific Commodity Descriptions Clause Samples

The 'Need for Specific Commodity Descriptions' clause requires parties to clearly and precisely identify the goods or commodities involved in a transaction. This typically means specifying details such as type, grade, quantity, and any distinguishing characteristics relevant to the commodity being bought or sold. By mandating detailed descriptions, the clause helps prevent misunderstandings or disputes over what is being delivered, ensuring both parties have a shared understanding of their obligations and reducing the risk of delivery errors or contractual ambiguity.
Need for Specific Commodity Descriptions. You must provide more detailed and accurate descriptions of commodities due to the heightened focus on transportation security. Descriptions such as “FAK (Freight All Kinds),” “SLAC (Shippers Load and Count),” chemicals, household goods, sporting goods and consolidated cargo are no longer acceptable. Those descriptions are too vague and do not specifically describe a commodity. You should avoid use of vague catch-all phrases and industry jargon. An example of an improved description may be “golf clubs” and “golf balls” instead of “sporting goods”; or “television sets” instead of “electronics.” Failing to provide accurate and detailed descriptions may result in delays at the origin pick-up or rail point, additional accessorial and related costs and other adverse consequences.
