Destination terminal fees are fees payable to the destination terminal to offload your freight from the ocean vessel, aircraft or ocean container. If you book a shipment on a DOOR TO PORT service these fees ARE NOT INCLUDED. The consignee will have to pay for these charges at the destination along with arrange the delivery from the port and customs entry at the destination port. These fees can be quite high for some services, specifically for LCL ocean freight which in some cases has higher destination terminal fees that the actual freight charges to move the freight to the destination terminal. Be wary of anyone quoting a shipment where there are not destination terminal fees included in the quote as you or your buyer at the destination may get a large destination terminal fee surprise.
If you book a shipment with Exfreight on a DOOR to DOOR service these destination terminal fees are included in the rate.
