A fuel clause applies to the European Pallet Distribution activities at R&L European Distribution.
Monthly, on the first working day of the month,
the percentage of the diesel surcharge for
that month is determined based on the
average daily price of the previous month
including VAT according to:
www.tln.nl/ledenvoordeel/brandstofmonitor
(Please note! the TLN site states VAT exclusive.
You must therefore add 21% VAT to this).
In accordance with the table from the Fuel Surcharge tab,
your quotation will then roll out a %. If you have any questions
about the calculation, you can always
contact your contact person.
The current diesel surcharge for the month
May 2025 = 15%
A different diesel clause applies to the complete carload import rates. For this purpose, R&L European Distribution refers you to the carrier agreement concluded with you. Depending on the country of loading, transit and unloading, agreements have been made with you regarding a certain basic diesel price and the bandwidth to be used.
If you have any questions, please contact our sales department. sales@RLEuropeanDistribution.com

The most recent Dutch Forwarding Conditions apply
to all activities of R&L European Distribution BV, filed
by Fenex, at the registry of the District Courts in
Amsterdam, Arnhem, Breda and Rotterdam.
Terms and Conditions
R
& European Distribution
L
1. All offers made by the Freight Forwarder are non-binding.
2. Agreements, as well as amendments of and additions to these agreements, shall only
become effective if and insofar as the Freight Forwarder has confirmed these in writing or
the Freight Forwarder has started to perform the Services.
1. The provision of information to the Freight Forwarder, that is reasonably provided to
enable customs formalities to be carried out, shall imply an order, unless otherwise agreed
in writing.
2. This order is accepted by the Freight Forwarder by means of an explicit written
confirmation or by the Freight Forwarder starting to carry out the customs formalities. The
Freight Forwarder is never obliged to accept an order to carry out customs formalities.
3. If the Freight Forwarder becomes familiar with information or conditions which would
indicate that the Client has not complied with article 9 paragraph 3 of these Conditions
(has provided incorrect and/or incomplete information and/or documents) and on the
basis of which the Freight Forwarder has not accepted the order to carry out customs
formalities, the Freight Forwarder is at all times entitled to end this order and not carry
this out (any further), which may or may not be set out in an additional agreement and/or
authorisation, without any obligation to pay damages.
The Client gives the Freight Forwarder free rein to engage the services of Third Parties to execute the Agreement, and to accept the (general) terms and conditions of those Third Parties at the Client's expense and risk, unless agreed otherwise with the Client. At the Client's request, the Freight Forwarder is obliged to provide (a copy of) the (general) terms and conditions under which it has entered into a contract with those Third Parties.
In these Conditions, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
1. Third party/parties: all of those persons, who are not employees, with whom the Freight
Forwarder has an undertaking on behalf of the Client, irrespective of whether the Freight
Forwarder has the undertaking in its own name or in the name of the Client;
2. Services: all activities and work, in any form and by whatever name, including those
performed by the Freight Forwarder for or on behalf of the Client;
3. Freight Forwarder: the natural or legal person who performs Services on behalf of the Client
and who uses these Conditions; this person is not exclusively understood to be the Freight
Forwarder referred to in Book 8 of the Dutch Civil Code;
4. Client: every natural or legal person who provides the Freight Forwarder with an order to
perform Services and concludes to that effect the Agreement, irrespective of the agreed
method of payment;
5. Agreement: the agreement entered into by the Freight Forwarder and Client in respect of
the Services to be performed by the Freight Forwarder, of which these Conditions form part;
6. Force majeure: all circumstances that the Freight Forwarder has reasonably been unable to
avoid and in respect of which the Freight Forwarder has reasonably been unable to prevent
the consequences.;
7. Conditions: these Dutch Forwarding Conditions.
8. Good/Goods: the goods to be made available or made available to the Freight Forwarder,
its agent or Third Parties by or on behalf of the Client, for the purpose of executing the
Agreement.
1. These Conditions govern all offers, agreements, legal acts and actual acts relating to Services
to be performed by the Freight Forwarder, insofar as these are not subject to imperative
law. These Conditions apply to the legal relationship between the parties, including once the
Agreement has ended.
2. Insofar as any provision in these Conditions is void or otherwise unenforceable, this does
not affect the validity of the other provisions in these Conditions. Furthermore, considered
to be applicable is such a stipulation (legally permissible) that is the closest to the purport
of the void or voided stipulation.
3. In case the English translation differs from the Dutch text, the latter will prevail.
1. All prices quoted shall be based on the prices that apply at the time of the offer
(quotation). If between the time of the offer and the time of execution of the Agreement,
one or more of the cost factors (including fees, wages, the cost of social measures and/or
laws, freight prices and exchange rates, etc.) increase, the Freight Forwarder is entitled to
pass on this increase to the Client. The Freight Forwarder must be able to prove the
changes.
2. If the Freight Forwarder charges all-in or fixed rates, these rates shall be deemed to
include all costs that, in the normal process of handling the order, are for the account of
the Freight Forwarder.
3. Unless provided otherwise, all-in or fixed rates shall not include at any rate: duties, taxes
and levies, consular and attestation fees, costs of preparing bank guarantees and insurance
premiums.
4. In the event of circumstances that are of such a nature that when concluding the
Agreement it was not deemed necessary to take into account the risk that they could
occur, that cannot be attributed to the Freight Forwarder and that significantly increase
the costs of the Services being performed, the Freight Forwarder is entitled to an
additional payment. Where possible, the Freight Forwarder shall consult in advance with
the Client. In such a case, the additional payment shall consist of the additional costs that
the Freight Forwarder has had to incur in order to perform the Services, plus an additional
payment - deemed fair and equitable - for the services to be performed by the Freight
Forwarder.
5. Expenses of an exceptional nature and higher wages arising whenever Third Parties, by
virtue of any provision in the relevant agreements between the Freight Forwarder and
Third Parties, load or unload goods in the evening, at night, on Saturdays or on Sundays or
public holidays in the country where the Service is being carried out, shall not be included
in the agreed prices, unless specifically stated. Any such costs shall therefore be
remunerated by the Client to the Freight Forwarder.
6. Other than in cases of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of the Freight
Forwarder, in the event of the loading and/or unloading time being inadequate, all costs
resulting therefrom, such as demurrage, waiting times, etc. shall be borne by the Client,
even when the Freight Forwarder has accepted the bill of lading and/or the charter party
from which the additional costs arise without protestation. The Freight Forwarder must
make every effort to avoid these costs.
1. Insurance of any kind shall only be arranged at the Client's expense and risk following
acceptance by the Freight Forwarder of the Client's explicit written order, in which the
Client clearly specifies the goods to be insured and the value to be insured. A mere
statement of the value or the interest is not enough.
2. The Freight Forwarder will take out the insurance (or arrange for this to be taken out)
through an insurer / insurance broker / insurance intermediary. The Freight Forwarder is
neither responsible nor liable for the solvency of the insurer / insurance broker / insurance
intermediary.
3. When the Freight Forwarder uses equipment, such as derricks, cranes, fork-lift trucks and
other machines to perform the Services that do not form part of its usual equipment, the
Freight Forwarder shall be entitled to take out insurance at the Client's expense to cover
the Freight Forwarder's risks arising from the use of such equipment. Where possible, the
Freight Forwarder shall consult in advance with the Client about the use of such
equipment. If no timely prior consultation is possible, the Freight Forwarder will take the
measures that seem to it to be in the best interests of the Client and shall inform the Client
of that.
1. The mere statement by the Client of a time for delivery shall not legally bind the Freight
Forwarder. Arrival times are not strict deadlines and are not guaranteed by the Freight
Forwarder, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
2. If the Client has not given any specific instructions about this with its order, the method of
delivery and route shall be at the Freight Forwarder's discretion and the Freight Forwarder
may at all times accept the documents customarily used by the firms it contracts for the
purpose of carrying out its orders.
1. The Client is obliged to deliver the Goods to the Freight Forwarder or a Third Party in
suitable packaging to the agreed location, at the agreed time and in the manner agreed.
2. In respect of the Goods, as well as in respect of the handling thereof, the Client is obliged
to supply the Freight Forwarder in good time with any details and documents that it knows
or ought to know, are of importance to the Freight Forwarder. If the Goods and/or
activities are subject to governmental provisions, including customs and excise regulations
and tax rules, the Client must provide all information and documents, in good time, that
are required by the Freight Forwarder in order to comply with those provisions.
3. The Client guarantees that the information and documents that it provides are correct and
complete and that all instructions and Goods that are made available comply with current
legislation. The Freight Forwarder shall not be obliged but shall be entitled to investigate
whether the information provided is correct and complete.
1. All operations such as inspecting, sampling, taring, tallying, weighing, measuring, etc. and
receiving goods subject to appraisal by a court-appointed expert, shall take place only on
the Client's specific instructions and upon remuneration of the costs thereof.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph 1, the Freight Forwarder shall be entitled, but
not obliged, on its own authority and at the Client's expense and risk, to take all such
actions as it deems necessary in the Client's interest. Where possible, the Freight
Forwarder shall consult in advance with the Client. If this is not possible, the Freight
Forwarder shall take the measures that seem to it to be in the best interests of the Client
and shall inform the Client of the measures taken and the associated costs, as soon as this
is reasonably possible.
3. The Freight Forwarder is not an expert with respect to the Goods. The Freight Forwarder
shall therefore in no way be liable for any damage that arises from or that is related to any
notification by the Freight Forwarder with regard to the state, nature or quality of the
Goods; nor shall the Freight Forwarder be under any obligation to ensure that the shipped
Goods correspond with the samples.
1. All Services shall be at the Client's expense and risk. 2. Without prejudice to the provisions in Article 17, the Freight Forwarder shall not be liable for any damage whatsoever, unless the Client can prove that the damage has been caused by fault of negligence on the part of the Freight Forwarder or the latter's employees. 3. The Freight Forwarder's liability shall in all cases be limited to 10,000 SDR per occurrence
or series of occurrences with one and the same cause of damage. Taking into account the
aforementioned limit, in the event of damage, loss of value or loss of the Goods in the
Agreement, the liability shall be limited to 4 SDR per kilogram of damaged or devalued
Goods or lost gross weight.
4. The loss to be indemnified by the Freight Forwarder shall never exceed the invoice value of
the Goods, to be proved by the Client, in default whereof the market value, to be proved
by the Client, at the time when the damage occurred, shall apply.
5. The Freight Forwarder shall never be liable for lost profit, consequential loss and
immaterial damage, however that occurred.
6. If during the execution of the Agreement damage occurs for which the Freight Forwarder is
not liable, taking into account the provisions in Article 19 of these Conditions, the Freight
Forwarder shall make efforts to recover the Client's damage from the party that is liable
for the damage. The Freight Forwarder shall be entitled to charge to the Client the costs
incidental thereto. If so requested, the Freight Forwarder shall waive in the Client's favour
its claims against Third Parties whose services it engaged for the purpose of executing the
Agreement.
7. The Client shall be liable vis-a-vis the Freight Forwarder for any damage - including but not
limited to material and immaterial damage, consequential damage, fines, interest, as well
as penalties and confiscation, including damage on account of non-clearance or tardy
clearance of customs documents and claims due to product liability and/or intellectual
property rights – suffered directly or indirectly by the Freight Forwarder as a result of
(amongst other things) the non-compliance by the Client of any obligation pursuant to the
Agreement or pursuant to applicable national and/or international legislation, as a result
of any incident that is within the control of the Client, as well as a result of the fault or
