The quantum of charge is listed hereunder, USD 800 per 20 Container USD 1000 per 40 Container USD 1125 per 40 High Cube Container USD 1266 per 45 High Cube Container Please be advised the port congestion surcharge was first announced in our tariff in 2012 to address the risk of increased port congestion as result of any labor-related issues, including but not limited to, labor action, work stoppage, or slow-downs/disruptions.
