Generally speaking, there is no fixed and unified standard for the hold warranty duration of sheet material export agents. Different agents may have different regulations. But the common hold warranty period starts from when the goods are loaded onto the ship and lasts until a specific time after the goods are unloaded from the ship at the destination port, such as about 7 days. During this period, if the sheet materials are damaged due to reasons related to the ship's hold, the agent will be responsible for the relevant compensation.
Usually, there is no significant difference due to different types of sheet materials. It mainly depends on the hold warranty terms negotiated and determined by the agent and the shipping company. However, there are also some special cases. For example, for sheet materials that are prone to moisture absorption and deformation, if the agent takes their characteristics into account, they may negotiate with the shipping company for a longer hold warranty period. It is recommended that when you choose an agent, you must have detailed communication with professional agents such as Zhongshitong about specific terms such as the hold warranty period and its starting time to protect your own rights and interests.

In most cases, the hold warranty starts to be calculated from when the goods are loaded onto the ship, and the time is approximately 5 - 10 days. It depends on how the agent and the shipping company have agreed.
