Please be advised that the Tanzania Port Authority has arbitrarily implemented a USD210 ICD transfer fee for shipments bound to hinterland countries via Dar Es Salaam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Port Authority will transfer (at their discretion and choice) the containers to Kwala ICD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we are currently in the process of requesting rate proposals for the upcoming quarter from all our vendors and benchmarking these against prevailing market rates to ensure competitiveness, we currently have no choice other than to recover this additional cost from the shipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In-lieu of this new ICD transfer cost imposed by the Tanzania Port Authority, we hereby provide notice and request all POL agents to immediately include an updated revised bill of lading clause stating to the effect that where a shipment is nominated and transferred to Kwala ICD by the Tanzania Port Authority, then an additional charge of USD 210 per container will be payable by the shipper or freight payer.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that currently, not all hinterland-bound containers are being nominated to Kwala ICD. The We are in communication with our vendors to have this additional charge built into the TBL all-inclusive rate and will provide you with a 30-day notice when concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, please ensure with immediate effect you are notified and advise customers and bills of ladings Thank you <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-9105","advisories","type-advisories","status-publish","hentry","advisories-tag-advisory","advisories-tag-tanzania"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
