Stogger Engineering BV and Stogger Turf Care BV (named hereafter Stogger) ships professional turf care equipment, LED grass grow light systems, compact units, large light rigs, robots, turf fans, ventilation systems, cables, spare parts and accessories, to customers across Europe and worldwide. Our products vary significantly in size, weight and transport requirements, from small courier packages to full container loads for major stadium projects.
These Shipping Conditions explain how we handle transport, what we arrange, and what our customers are responsible for. The exact shipping condition applicable to your order is always confirmed in the quotation, order confirmation or written agreement.
These conditions apply to all shipments made by Stogger from our warehouse in the Netherlands, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. All shipments are made under Incoterms® 2020 as specified per transport type below.
Incoterms® 2020 are internationally recognised trade terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce. They define the point at which risk and costs transfer from seller to buyer. They do not replace the sales contract. The applicable Incoterm is always specified in the quotation or order confirmation.
Our products are valuable, fragile and theft-sensitive. All shipments are made via closed transport, enclosed trucks, sealed containers or equivalent, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Depending on the product, destination and project requirements, we use the following transport methods:
Condition: DAP [named place of destination] — Incoterms® 2020
For deliveries within the European Union, we ship on a DAP basis. Stogger arranges and pays for road transport to the agreed destination. Risk transfers to the buyer when the goods are made available for unloading at the named place.
The buyer is responsible for:
Condition: CIP [named place of destination] — Incoterms® 2020
For road transport to destinations outside the European Union, including Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Norway, Turkey and other non-EU countries, we ship on a CIP basis.
Stogger arranges road freight and cargo insurance to the agreed destination. Risk transfers to the buyer when the goods are handed to the first carrier at our warehouse.
The buyer is responsible for:
Any costs or delays at border crossings caused by factors within the buyer’s responsibility, including missing documentation, absence of an import agent or unavailability of a customs broker, are for the buyer’s account and risk.
Condition: CIF [port of destination] — Incoterms® 2020
For international container shipments, Stogger ships on a CIF basis. We arrange and pay for sea freight from our loading port to the named port of destination, handle export formalities, and provide marine cargo insurance.
Stogger arranges and pays:
The buyer is responsible for:
Stogger does not offer DAP as a standard condition for sea freight shipments. Under DAP, costs such as demurrage, detention and port storage accumulate after vessel arrival and fall to the seller, outside Stogger’s control. DAP for sea freight is only available by explicit prior written agreement and subject to additional conditions.
DAP terms for sea freight are only available by explicit prior written agreement. If DAP is agreed for a sea freight shipment, the following conditions always apply in addition to the standard DAP terms:
The buyer is solely responsible for import customs clearance, the appointment of a licensed customs broker or import agent, and payment of all duties, taxes and VAT. Any demurrage, detention, terminal storage, port congestion charges or waiting time arising after arrival of the vessel at the port of destination, including delays caused by customs procedures, missing documents or buyer readiness, shall be for the buyer’s account and risk. If Stogger is requested to arrange or advance any of these costs on behalf of the buyer, all related charges, third-party fees and expenses will be invoiced directly to the buyer and remain entirely for the buyer’s account.
Condition: agreed in writing per shipment — CIP, CPT or FCA
Air freight is used for compact units, urgent shipments or specific international deliveries.
The applicable shipping condition for each air freight shipment is agreed in writing and confirmed in the quotation or order confirmation.
Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the buyer remains responsible for import customs clearance, duties, taxes, VAT and local handling at the destination airport.
Condition: DAP [delivery address] — DHL Express, UPS or equivalent
Small shipments including spare parts, cables, controllers and accessories are dispatched via courier services on a DAP basis to the delivery address.
The buyer is responsible for:
Stogger reserves the right to invoice the buyer for any costs charged back to Stogger by the carrier as a result of the above.
Condition: FCA Stogger warehouse — Incoterms® 2020 (preferred) | EXW Stogger warehouse — Incoterms® 2020 (on specific request)
If the customer, dealer or importer wishes to arrange their own transport, we offer two options:
Goods are loaded onto the buyer’s nominated carrier at our warehouse. Stogger handles export formalities and documentation. Risk transfers when the carrier takes possession.
This is our preferred arrangement for international shipments as it ensures correct export compliance from the Netherlands.
Goods are made available at our warehouse for collection. The buyer is responsible for loading, all transport, export formalities, insurance and import compliance. Under EXW, the buyer assumes full export compliance responsibility under Dutch and EU law. We recommend FCA over EXW for international shipments.
For both FCA and EXW, all transport costs, insurance, import duties, taxes and related risks are entirely for the buyer’s account from the agreed point of handover.
For all shipments outside the European Union, the buyer is responsible for ensuring that a licensed import agent, customs broker or importer of record is in place in the country of destination before shipment.
If the customer does not have an importer, customs broker or local import agent available, Stogger may assist in arranging such support on behalf of the customer. Any costs arising from this assistance, including broker fees, disbursements, duties, taxes, waiting time, storage charges and all other third-party fees, will be charged directly to the customer and remain entirely for the customer’s account and risk. Stogger Engineering BV does not accept liability for delays, losses or additional costs caused by the absence or unavailability of an import agent.
The following charges are always for the buyer’s account and risk, regardless of the shipping condition applied, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing:
For all deliveries, the buyer must ensure:
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is not a standard Stogger shipping condition and is in practice almost never used. Stogger does not assume responsibility for import duties, VAT, local taxes or customs compliance in the buyer’s country under standard trading terms.
In the exceptional case that DDP is agreed, the following conditions always apply:
The applicable shipping condition, including the Incoterm® 2020, named place or port, and any special arrangements, is always specified in the quotation, order confirmation or written agreement. In case of conflict, the written agreement between Stogger and the customer shall prevail.
