Section 536

If any stores are short-landed or not received by the consignee or are damaged the Bill of Lading shall be endorsed accordingly and a certificate detailing the defects shall be obtained by the clearing of-ficer from the carrier's agent. A claim in respect of the value of the missing stores shall then be made by the Head of Department con-cerned. For cargoes consigned by the Crown Agents the claim pro-cedure will be as set out in the booklet ''The Crown Agents Marine In-surance Service'' and as amplified by Treasury Circulars from time to time.
