Madar explanation

What does the Article mean in plain language?

Recipient refusal does not automatically close a suspended movement. Notify, address the permit and return goods under the applicable procedure while tracking location and quantities. Retain refusal, return and receipt evidence rather than recording delivery that was never accepted.

Who should read this?

Relevant to senders, recipients and warehouse operators in Bahrain and abroad.

Practical action

Document refusal and shipment location and coordinate notification, return and closure.

Illustrative Madar example

How can this rule appear in practice?

A refused shipment is tracked through evidenced return or an accepted alternative procedure; the driver's call alone is insufficient.

The example is explanatory; it is not an NBR case or a binding result for a specific fact pattern.
Common mistake to avoid

Returning goods without documentation or closing them as delivered despite refusal.
