Description of Key Services Offered
MTI's principal business is
performing inspections of cargo which has allegedly been damaged or pilfered while in
transit by common or contract carriers and forwarders. Inspections include the basic
written reports made in the field jointly with the consignee or claimant. The inspection
reports will be supported by as many color photographs as necessary. If opinions and
suggestions are in order, they will be provided in a separate supplemental report.

Fees for standard inspection reports average about $52.00. Standard reports are those
which can be completed within two to three working days from the date of
assignment, during normal business hours, Monday
through Friday (excluding legal holidays) without specific appointments and within
metropolitan areas regularly served by MTI. No additional fees
will be charged by MTI without the prior consent of the
customer.
MTI can also provide laboratory testing of shipments which have
allegedly been damaged by freezing or by having been subjected to a freeze-thaw cycle. MTI
also offers laboratory testing of imported shipments which show evidence of water damage
to determine if the wetting was caused by fresh (rain) or salt (sea) water.
MTI also offers evaluations of packaging and packing methods,
determinations of proper classification of freight and technical investigations of all
kinds. MTI can also inspect shipments prior to tender to assess
their condition and the adequacy and conformance of packaging to be certain that the
freight is suitable for transportation.
