Dear Partners of "Panatrans" LLC!

 

This is to inform you about the change of charge for extra usage of OOCL line containers, starting from containers discharged and loaded from/on m/v "Contship Run" 031, 19-20/01/2022 at NUTEP terminal in Novorossiysk port:

 

1. Extra usage of containers is directly related to the international maritime container shipping of goods provided by the Principal, the place of sale of which is not deemed as the territory of the Russian Federation. Demurrage is a fine imposed by the Principal for the extra usage of the Principal's container equipment related to the organization of the international maritime container shipping of goods. The Client's obligation to pay the Demurrage fine arises from the sea container shipping of goods contract governed by the Principal's bills of lading. 

 

2. In accordance with subparagraph 5, paragraph 1.1. of Article 148 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the services on the extra usage of containers shall be deemed to have been sold outside the Russian Federation and shall not be subject to VAT in the Russian Federation. The above tariffs do not include Russian VAT.  

 

3. Within the meaning of Article 148(3) of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the aforementioned tariffs are not an independent service and are inseparably linked to the main service - organization of international maritime container shipping of goods, which is provided by the Principal, a non-resident of the Russian Federation, using its own equipment.

 

4. If an obligation to pay VAT arises on the part of the Principal, it shall be deemed not to be included in the amount of the specified tariffs. In the event that, under the applicable laws of the Russian Federation, the extra usage of the Principal's containers would be subject to VAT (in particular due to changes in legislation or generally binding law enforcement practice), VAT shall be added to the said tariffs, without the Principal's tariff itself being increased. In such a case, the said VAT shall be payable additionally by the Subagent, without reducing the price of the relevant service, within five (5) calendar days from the date indicated on the invoice. On the said invoice, the Agent shall allocate VAT as a separate line.
