After transporting goods through the container phase, it is possible to maintain the cleanliness of the goods in the box, protect the safety of the goods and reduce the damage. In order to ensure the smooth and smooth operation of the container and prevent the container from occupying the pressure, the owner of the container--the shipowner gives the container The user--the importer has a time limit. Within this time limit, the goods are not included in the box. Beyond this time, if the goods are not taken out of the box and occupy the container, then the shipowner will be paid a fixed amount every day. This is the so-called demurrage fee.

Most of the imported containers are missed within 10 days from the arrival of the ship to the target port. The demurrage fee is calculated after 10 days from the arrival of the ship.

Here, we introduce a quick way to return empty boxes, so that you can return empty containers as soon as possible to prevent or reduce the demurrage.

The details are as follows: At the same time as the goods are processed for customs clearance, the importer may wish to know to the shipowner which container yard the container will be returned to, and then to the yard, and the fleet of the yard will directly release the released goods to the yard. The boxes are placed inside the yard, and then the goods are selected by rail or car to the target according to demand. At the same time as the shipments, the container will still be empty, so it is better to save the two-day time than to use the rest of the fleet to pick up the box and return to the empty container to the designated yard.

When the number of imported containers is large, this method can not only plan more time for customs clearance, but also reduce the demurrage fee. For example, if a company imports 48 20-foot container items, it knows that after the ship owner’s return empty container yard, it signs a treaty with the yard, and its team directly picks up the box from the port to the yard, and then the workshop The yard picks up the goods. When the goods were cleared, the customs clearance time was delayed due to customs clearance, which made the customs release the goods on the 10th day after the ship arrived in Hong Kong. After getting the customs release order, the fleet of the yard quickly referred the container to the yard. In doing so, the demurrage fee of USD480.00 and the return fee of 4,800 yuan of local currency were saved.
