The plain-words read of this example
Against 1,200 units on the ASN, the receipt is 24 units short with 6 units damaged, outside your ±1.0% tolerance. That is $555.00 at cost, of which $555.00 is recoverable from the carrier; file it: $555.00 recoverable, $480.00 after the cost of filing. Under FOB destination the supplier owns the goods in transit, so debit the supplier and let them claim from the carrier. Strong: the exception is on the delivery receipt the driver signed. The carrier must allow at least 9 months to file, and must acknowledge in 30 days and answer in 120.
