How to avoid detention in international freight container transportation

Nov 02, 2021

Carrying goods according to the container-phase method can maintain the cleanup of the goods in the box, maintain the safety of the goods, and reduce damage, so as to ensure the smooth flow of goods in the shipping container, and prevent the shipping container from being destroyed and stagnant. The owner of the shipping container Shipping requires a time limit for users and buyers of sea containers, during which time, the goods can be packed in the box completely free of charge. After this period of time, if the goods are not taken out of the box and occupy the sea container, then the daily budget will be paid to the shipping for the fixed cost, which is a vain demurrage fee. The complete free period for imported ocean containers is mostly within 10 days from the ship to the air waybill. The demurrage fee is just calculated 10 days after the ship arrives at the port, so that you can return to the empty container as soon as possible to prevent or reduce the demurrage fee.


The fact is: in addition to the customs clearance procedures for the goods application, the purchaser can know which storage yard the sea container will return to the shipping company, and then contact the storage yard, and the transportation team under the freight forwarding company's storage yard will release the customs clearance. The goods are immediately mentioned to the storage yard, and boxes are taken from the storage yard, and then the goods must be transported to the rear destination by rail or car according to the necessity of transportation.


In addition, even if this shipping container has already been emptied, compared with other transport teams, picking up the box to the warehouse and then returning the box to a specific storage yard, it can save two days less time. When the total number of containers is large, choosing this method will not only prepare more time for customs clearance, but also reduce demurrage fees.
