China Import Service Fee

Since 1 October 2005, a so-called China Import Service Fee (CISF) is paid in Rotterdam on all LCL imports ex China / Hong Kong. This is the result of recent market developments. Unfortunately, different unloading charges must be paid at a number of warehouses. Embassy Freight will list the applicable local costs in its arrival message.
