Memo on Surcharges Breakdown

IMPORTANT UPDATE ! With effect as from sailing date 15 April 2008, the single USD 50,00 flat charge per container all direction for security fee will be absorbed within the increase of the ocean freight rates that come into effect as from the same date, 15 April 2008.

To ensure the recovery by ITGBL Carriers of surcharges presently being imposed at various ports, against cargo interests and/or Carriers by Port Authorities/Marine Terminal Operators to meet their costs of complying with governmental security requirements, TAAFLO has adopted a new pass through Tariff Rule (10-C-D-E) to cover the matter and which Rule will also apply to all shipments under TAAFLO service contracts. This Rule became effective on June 17, 2004 following 30 day advance Tariff publication notice.

Port Security Fees, when billed as a line item on the ocean bill of lading can be passed through to the Government under Item 432 of the Solicitation.

Owing to the steep depreciation of the U.S. dollar of over 20% during the past year, the TAAFLO Members have found it necessary to institute a Currency Adjustment Factor ("CAF") of $81/20', $125/40' and $141/45' to be effective October 15, 2004. This CAF will also be allowed as a "pass through" under Item 432 effective October 15, 2004 through April 14, 2005.
