Before you quote — watch for
- Free time is filed per service string, so the same port can differ between two Yang Ming loops.
- Rail dwell dominates. Confirm whether the clock is a carrier tariff or the terminal storage tariff before disputing.
- Working-day counting applies at this port in most filings: weekends and statutory holidays should not consume free time.
- US import: the FMC rule (46 CFR 541) requires the charge to serve an incentive purpose and the invoice to carry 13 specific elements. A defective invoice eliminates the obligation to pay.
