Import Congestion Surcharge All shipments from/to Karachi, Pakistan

 
20 July, 2016

 
Dear Valued Customer,

 
Please be advised that PICT terminal in Karachi is experiencing severe congestion due to lower productivity levels as a result of reduced deliveries during the last week of Ramadan and the subsequent long Eid Holidays.

 
The productivity level has reached less than half of the normal and this has given rise to a significant increase in the port congestion that has disrupted normal course of operations.

 
Based on this context, UASC will implement a Port Congestion Surcharge (PCS) on all shipments from/to Karachi effective as of August 1st departure / receiving date.

 
The Port Congestion Surcharge will be implemented as follows:
Export: USD 100/ TEU
Import: USD 100 / TEU
Date of Application: August 1st (departure/ receiving date)

 
Please do not hesitate to contact your local sales or customer service representative if you require further information or have any queries.
