What evidence file supports a cargo damage claim?

The issue to settle here is “What evidence file supports a cargo damage claim”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. Before starting, verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. The terms that frame this page are evidence · file · supports · cargo. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Weights and volumes must match across every shipping document or the destination will send it back. Delivery orders issue only after freight is paid; check the document sequence before filing. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. The bill of lading names shipper, consignee and delivery terms, and must match the invoice field by field. The consignee name must match the receiving company's corporate records exactly. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. A cargo loss or damage claim rests on a complete evidence file: the bill of lading or air waybill, the notice of claim to the carrier, the survey report, photographs, the insurance policy and proof of value. Foreign insurers and carriers normally want certified translations of all of them, and the dates and times must agree across the set because notice deadlines affect the right to claim. Company and personal names in English must match the company certificate and the passport on every document in the set, and B/L numbers, container and seal numbers, tariff headings, quantities, weights and dates are copied exactly. Translators do not interpret or condense. If the original contains an error the issuer must correct the original, because changing only the translation makes the set inconsistent and gets it returned. A Thai document for use abroad is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, then submitted for certification to the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued for Thai documents. Cost and lead time depend on page count, how many certified sets are needed, the target language and the steps the receiving party requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
