Based on shipping information provided by the Caller, the Contractor shall obtain a GOJ clearance from the Prefectural Public Safety Commission responsible for the area from which the explosives are shipped, and it must be carried when the explosives are being transported. An additional charge for transportation of this freight is specified in Item A06B in the Price List.

Written instruction and inspection shall be bilingual to ensure driver(s) fully understand the contents. As defined in the GOJ Explosives Control Law, the following Items shall not require the GOJ clearance based on net explosive weight (NEW) or quantities specified below. They shall be defined as sensitive freight specified in paragraph 1.2.4 under the contract, however, the Contractor shall not be relieved from complying with the said laws/ordinances and instruction/inspection related to hazardous freight.

Example:

Item Item NEW/Qty of shipment Allowable NEW/Qty

%-age of allowable NEW/Qty

Detonating cord 3km 6km 50%

SAA (NEW over 0.5g/round) 80,000 each 200,000 each 40%

(The sum of the percentages is 90%; therefore, detonating cord (3km) and the SAA (80,000 each) may be shipped as sensitive freight under the contract: 3 km ÷ 6 km + 80,000 each ÷200,000 each = 50% + 40% = 90%)
