    \n
  1. Origin Haulage<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Origin Charges<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Freight Charges<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Destination Charges<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Destination Haulage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Haulage at the origin\/destination are charges that are incurred to move the cargo from Inland point to the port (origin) or vice-versa (destination). Depending on the inco-terms<\/a> involved, Haulage<\/a> may be clubbed together with Freight and quoted as an all-in rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many surcharges that can be added on freight. BAF<\/a> (Bunker Adjustment factor) and CAF (Currency Adjustment factor) are included in the freight rate in some trade lanes. Sometimes, certain countries levy additional destination charge eg. piracy risk, surcharge across a canal, congestion surcharge etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
