MTI's principal business is performing inspections of cargo which has
allegedly been damaged or pilfered while in transit by common or
contract carriers and forwarders. Inspections include the basic written
reports made in the field jointly with the consignee or claimant. The
inspection reports will be supported by as many color photographs as
necessary. If opinions and suggestions are in order, they will be
provided in a separate supplemental report.
Fees for standard inspection reports average about $41.00. Standard
reports are those which can be completed within two working days, during
normal business hours, Monday through Friday (excluding legal holidays)
without specific appointments and within metropolitan areas regularly
served by MTI. No additional fees will be charged by MTI without the
prior consent of the customer.
MTI can also provide laboratory testing of shipments which have
allegedly been damaged by freezing or by having been subjected to a
freeze-thaw cycle. MTI also offers laboratory testing of imported
shipments which show evidence of water damage to determine if the
wetting was caused by fresh (rain) or salt (sea) water.
MTI also offers evaluations of packaging and packing methods,
determinations of proper classification of freight and technical
investigations of all kinds. MTI can also inspect shipments prior to
tender to assess their condition and the adequacy and conformance of
packaging to be certain that the freight is suitable for
transportation.
MTI's specialization and experience enables us to produce reporting
which is unsurpassed for accuracy, thoroughness and value. For 40 years
our staff of professional claim investigators has provided a truly
complete range of services to reduce the cargo claim costs of our many
client carriers, forwarders and shipping associations.
