Confidential Data (Origin Marks)
SSV Section 10
Origin marks
If the true destination of the goods is not to be known to the consignor, or their origin to the consignee, the forwarder must be informed of this in writing.
If the consignee instructs the forwarder to send the shipment on to a third party, the forwarder shall not, even in the absence of special instructions, make known to the third party the name of the original consignor and the origin of the goods. The forwarder shall remove the origin marks only if requested to do so in writing.

Robert Vogel's Commentary:
Section 10 treats questions that can lead to disputes between the customer and the forwarder. The requirement of written instructions reduces the risk of a dispute should the ultimate importer discover the source (or manufacturer) of the goods.
