[robocup-worldwide] about the situation of shipment

[=?gb2312?B?s8LR7w==?=]

Dear all: 
  I¡¯m ChenYang from RoboCup 2008 LOC, in charge with cargo shipping. As many directors and players¡¯ request, I¡¯ll announce the situation of all cargo with DHL and the problems we are facing.
  There had been 14 cargoes transported by DHL. After the competition, DHL transported all cargoes to their warehouse to ship back. And when they checked cargo lists, they found that there were some items forbidden transporting, batteries, glues, balls (with air in), multimeters, and so on. And with the hard work by DHL and LOC officers, 4 cargoes have been transported, the detail below:

In theory

Destroyed

Useless
 
 
  As you see, now the main point on transporting is the batteries. If batteries would to be transported, they MUST be done the inspection. DHL is a worldwide company, their work is obeyed Chinese law. As batteries may harm for the freight, the inspection before transporting from China is necessary. And we also asked airport security, airline agent, and other departments, they gave us the same answer: inspecting or abandoning. So, there are only two choices to solve the problem: using samples to inspect (the samples will be destroyed), or leaving them in China. We really hope all owners can think about it carefully and make a decision as soon as possible. And we¡¯ll try our best to help you all transport cargoes back home! And we also hope you can understand our position. Thanks.
 
And in the attachment is part of <Dangerous Good Regulations> by IATA. There are details about the dangerous goods list and the solutions.
 
 
Best regards,
 
 
Chen Yang
