INTRODUCTION
Document Purpose
This document outlines the shipping instructions for Symantec suppliers when freight charges are directly
or indirectly paid by Symantec. Below are carrier routing instructions and routing information for your
information.
Important Information
AmericasShipping@symantec.com at Symantec must be contacted regarding sensitive shipments which
may have specialized packing and/or handling requirements. These items include, but are not limited to:
IT Equipment
Fragile items (ex: glass, etc.)
Oversized Items
Non-Standard Packaging Items (oddly shaped, ex: Billboards,
High Value Pilferage Items (ex: items which could be targeted for theft)
Large Shipments (ex: could be palletized)
Etc.
Declared Value/Insurance:
Please use the following if you have any questions
It is Symantec Policy not to request additional insurance or declare a value on the Way Bill for insurance
purposes. If you have a shipment of high value contact Symantec’s Risk Management Group
for instructions. High Value items such as, servers, laptops, cell phones, jewelry, watches etc. are highly
susceptible to pilferage and should be packed and labeled to prevent a theft.
Packaging: Items that are fragile must be packed to ensure they can transport safely in transit. Strong
packaging with sufficient dunnage is required to ensure the item can be dropped from a 3 foot height
without any damage. Large freight should be palletized, shrink wrapped and labeled to ensure they travel
safely to their destination point.
It should be noted, that most express carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL) limit their liability. Limitation for US
domestic shipments is $ 100.00 per package. International Liability limits are based on the Warsaw
Amendment with a liability value of $20.00 per kilo.
