ANNOUNCEMENT
Equipment Imbalance Surcharge (EIS) and Inbound Detention (2 in 1) Charges
Dear Customers,
1.) OOCL (Philippines), Inc. would like to advise that effective August 15, 2012 on-board date, Equipment Imbalance Surcharge (EIS) shall be revised to USD90.00 per 20' and USD180.00 per 40' for all inbound cargo to the Philippines except originating from Transpacific Trade.
The increase is necessary to address the widening container imbalance ratio between import and export and to recover the stevedoring cost from the 2 tranche increase of 17% total based on PPA Memorandum Circular (MC) no. 13-2011 dated October 18, 2012. As a destination surcharge, Equipment Imbalance Surcharge (EIS) shall be settled by the local consignee, regardless if the trade term of the shipment is prepaid or collect.
2.) Inbound Detention (2 in 1) Charges for all import cargo to the Philippines will also be revised effective August 15, 2012 to encourage faster turnaround of equipment. Please find details as follows:
