The Handling Outbound charges detailed above were effective on March 1, 2003.
Therefore, invoices prepared by COMEX Clearing for warrants issued prior to March
1, 2003 will not call for reimbursements for handling out charges based on this
rate. Reimbursements for these warrants will be based on the old handling out
rate because the warehouse was prepaid based on the old handling out rate. Though
the warehouses have been prepaid the handling out charges based on the old rate,
the party shipping the metal out on or after March 1, 2003 may owe the warehouses
the difference between the old and new rates upon shipment, at the discretion
of the warehouse. Clearing Members are advised to carefully review their warrant
inventory and invoices received to ensure that reimbursement payments are not
made for charges that have not actually been prepaid by the market short. |
