When a shipment is refused due to freight damage, the responsibility for filing a claim typically falls on the consignee (the recipient of the shipment) who rejects the goods. However, the shipper (the sender) may also have the right to file a claim with the carrier, depending on the terms of their shipping agreement. It's important for both parties to document the damage thoroughly and follow the carrier's claims process to ensure a successful resolution.

Yes, a broker can withhold freight payment from a carrier due to a claim, particularly if there are unresolved issues related to the shipment, such as damage or loss. This withholding is often part of the broker's contractual rights to ensure that claims are adequately addressed before final payment is made. However, the specifics can depend on the terms outlined in the brokerage agreement and applicable laws. It's important for both parties to communicate clearly and resolve any claims promptly to avoid disputes.
Under CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, the carrier is typically responsible for the delivery of goods to the destination port. If there is a delay in shipment, the beneficiary (buyer) can claim against the carrier for damages caused by that delay, provided that the delay is due to the carrier's negligence or failure to fulfill their contractual obligations. However, the specifics may vary based on the terms of the contract and applicable law, so it's essential to review the contract and consult legal advice if necessary.

What type of claim? Damage or injury?
Freight classes are based on four things: density, freight stowability, ease of handling, and liability. A truckload of Styrofoam coolers is the "typical" Class 500 load: a 53-foot truckload of them only weighs 650 pounds (I have hauled these), they're hard to handle because they're fragile, they're relatively expensive for their weight, and their breakability means you're probably going to have a damage claim. So the shipper gets charged an arm and a leg. At the other end of the scale is a 40,000-pound iron ingot. They're very easy to handle, impossible to damage even if you rolled the truck, easy to drive with and very inexpensive per pound. These would be freight class 50.
Yes you can withdraw your claim, but once reported, the damage and the claim filing are still on record.
