Late Clearance Customs Brokers™ New Zealand

(2) The sea freight depot charges storage for Less than a Container Load (LCL) cargo that has not been collected within the free period, after the goods have been devanned from the shipping container.

(3) The wharf charges storage for Full Container loads (FCLs) that have not been collected from the wharf shortly after having been discharged from the vessel.

(4) The shipping company that owns the shipping container charges detention (rent) for the non-use of the shipping container.
