Storage Charges
Even if you don’t intend to store your shipment, storage fees may nevertheless be charged for it.
Storage Charges
Storage fees, if necessary, will be included on the final invoice and represent the cost of keeping a package at a facility (a warehouse, CES, etc.).
Several factors, such as the following, may result in storage fees:
-If your shipment is chosen for a customs inspection, it must be stored until the release of the customs.
-Due to a prolonged delay in collection by an Amazon-partnered carrier, your shipment, which is headed for Amazon FBA, must be put into storage.
-Your shipment needs to be pre-pulled and kept at the trucker’s yard.
-You choose to store your shipment rather than ship it to Amazon FBA.
To discourage keeping containers at the port for longer than a few days, terminals will charge a significant demurrage cost for containers that are not picked up from the port before the Last Free Day. Storage fees pay for the actual cost of storing shipments.
