Meta l-'Gate Pass Out' jigi ffirmat u ccertifikat illi l-merkanzija giet 'received in good order andcondition', ir-responsabbilta' ta' tali merkanzija tghaddi f'idejn l-importatur. Dana ma jfissirxpero' li din hija prova fiha innifisha ta' awtenticita' assoluta, u l-gate pass out jista' jigi attakkat b'success bi prova kontrarja bhal ma del resto jista' jsir b'tally sheet'.

Ir-Regolamenti tal-Port 1966 u precizament l-Art. 70 (3), l-Art. 90 ta' Schedule 13 kif ukoll l-Art. 6 (3) tal-Port Ordinance 1962, ma jezimux lill-"cargo handler" mir-responsabilita' tieghu ghaliex il-fatt li l-merkanzija hija meqjusa bhal 'units' ma jfissirx li dan tista' impunement jikkonsenja vetturi b'accessorji neqsin meta jirrizulta li huwa jkun ircevihom bl-accessorji soliti taghhom. Lanqas il-fatt lil-merkanzija tkun tinhazen 'in the open and always at the sole risk of the owner' ma jezimih mir-responsabbilitajiet tieghu bhala depozitarju tal-merkanzija, u ghalhekk, huwa obbligat li jikkustodixxi l-merkanzija bhala 'bonus paterfamilias' .

Survey fees huma necessarji sabiex tigi determinata l-entita' tad-danni reklamati u ghalhekk ghandhom jigu rifuzi minn min ikun responsabbli ghall-istess.
