Many friends who are new to the international trade industry don't know much about the drop off and pre pick-up of containers in international shipping. In fact, besides the shipping cost, the cost of "containers" also accounts for a large proportion. Next, I will explain in detail the difference between drop off and pre pick-up of containers in international shipping?
Drop off fee and pre pick up fee:
Drop off fee: when the container enters the port, it is not allowed to enter the port before the container is opened. The fleet can't put this box on the truck all the time, and there are other boxes that need * *, so it will find a place to put the boxes down and wait for the port to open before dragging them in. At this time, the unloading fee will be incurred.
Advance collection fee: under special circumstances, in order to obtain the case number, fill in the manifest or other information, it is required to pick up the case in advance. Usually, it is required to pick up the case in advance. The expenses incurred at this time are called the pick-up fee.
The difference between the pre lift box and the drop box:
Scope of action
The pre pick-up box is usually used for goods leaving for the United States.
Packing fee is a kind of expense incurred during export.
Causes of action:
The reason for withholding the container fee is that AMS has the * late limit of AMS, and the freight fee is later than the * late limit of AMS. However, AMS needs to provide the container number when sending the manifest. Therefore, in this case, the suitcase must be put into the storage yard first.
The drop off fee refers to the fee incurred when the container arrives at the port, because of some reasons in the port or the shipping company, the port has not started to collect the container and has not opened the container, and the ship owner will find a place to dump the container and wait for the port to open.
Expenses borne:
Pre pick up fee: guests.
Drop off fee: if it is due to the team, the cost shall be borne by the team itself. If there is any problem with the guest, the guest will be charged.
Demurrage charge
In order to speed up the circulation of containers and avoid overstocking, shipping companies have formulated the free use period of containers. Within this period, the containers occupying the containers can be free of charge. If the time limit is exceeded, the goods occupying the containers will pay a fixed fee, which is called "demurrage fee".
The demurrage fee is calculated on a daily basis. Export sales are generally 7 days. Container demurrage charges are often incurred during the purchase. The container can be used for free within a few days (for example, ten days) after the ship arrives at the port, and the charges for exceeding the specified time. Therefore, after the ship enters the port, it must complete the import customs clearance and arrange the pick-up in time, and return the empty container to the designated place of the shipping company in time. The free use time of the special container is slightly shorter. Of course, different shipping companies have different regulations, and the specific date should be consulted with the ship owner. If the customer's SOC box, there is no demurrage fee.
