Shipping tips
Non-profit Shipping Tips
Here are some helpful shipping tips that we put together for non-profit exporters shipping through Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.
PierPass
All containers that discharge at L.A. or Long Beach ports incur a fee called PierPass. You can clear this on your own or your forwarder can, usually for an additional fee. The fee for 20′ containers is $ 37.71 and $ 75.42 for 40′ containers. Check your incoterms to determine who’s responsible for this fee.
Weight Restrictions
Keep your cargo weight at or below 44,000 lbs. to avoid extra costs for overweight and to meet CA legal weight limits. We can secure overweight permits if your cargo is considered non-divisible.
Terminal Operations
The terminal operator unloads your container from the vessel and places it inside their storage yard for pickup. Appointment times are available at random, and your desired time might not be available.
The Last Free Day
Your containers is assigned a “last free day” when discharged from the vessel. Your forwarder will schedule a pickup time on or before this day to avoid a daily storage charge called demurrage.
Empty Container Return
Your forwarder will schedule an empty container return appointment with the terminal once you’ve unloaded your cargo. Appointment times are available at random, and sometimes the terminal will only accept empty containers on dual transactions. This means your forwarder can only return your empty container if they pull a loaded container out.
Less Than Container Loads
Your cargo is taken to a designated container freight station (CFS) and unloaded and stored until you or your forwarder can arrange pickup.
