Making a cargo loss or damage claim in India — what translation and certification is expected?

What the enquirer needs to know is “Making a cargo loss or damage claim in India”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. Weights and volumes must match across every shipping document or the destination will send it back. Certificates of origin expire, so schedule certification to match the sailing date. Before starting, count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The terms that frame this page are Making · cargo · loss · damage. The specifics here are purpose: Cargoclaim; destination: In, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Trade terms are standard codes; keep the code rather than translating its meaning. Dangerous goods need safety documentation, and the translation must preserve the hazard class codes. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. 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. A document issued overseas — an exporter's company certificate, an inspection certificate or an importer's power of attorney — is used in Thailand only after certification in the country of origin under that country's system, then by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate there. It is then translated into Thai and the translation is certified by the Department of Consular Affairs before it is filed with a Thai body. ILC handles documents only: translation, certified translation, coordinating a notarial services attorney and running certification at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It is not a freight forwarder, customs broker, shipping or airline agent or tariff consultant, and it guarantees no decision by the Customs Department, the Marine Department, CAAT, a bank, an insurer or any foreign authority. 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.
