Forms of dispatch The catalogue price includes the cost of dispatch by non-registered economy-class mail or the means of carriage most advantageous to ITU. Dispatch can be requested in other forms: i.e. airmail, DHL, Federal Express, TNT, UPS Freight or diplomatic pouch. If one of these alternative methods is chosen, the dispatch cost will be added to the quote. The client may choose to provide the ITU with his own valid UPS/Fedex/DHL/TNT account number for shipping at his expense. If a freight forwarder is designated by the client, this client assumes all transport charges. The costs of shipping via registered mail have been added to the economy-class costs. You may, if you wish, refuse these conditions but, in this case, ITU will not be held responsible for the replacement of any undelivered orders dispatched by mail that has not been registered. Customs duties and other taxes or dues levied on imported goods are not borne by ITU. ITU accepts no responsibility for delay, loss or damage in shipment.
