Effective July 1, 2016, major steamship lines will implement a general rate increases (GRI) for transpacific cargo from the Far East and India to the US and Canada. In addition, a previously announced Peak Season Surcharge (PSS), scheduled for July 1, 2016, has been delayed until July 15, 2016.

Carriers’ surcharges may vary; average rates are as follows:

For Shipments to all US/Canadian destinations:
20′ Standard Containers: USD $480 -$540
40′ Standard Containers: USD $600
40′ High-Cube Containers: USD $675
45′ Standard Containers: USD $760
LCL: USD $12 per CBM, min USD $12

Along with our overseas partners, Deringer will try to mitigate the upcoming rate increase. However, the market will ultimately determine carriers’ flexibility. Please send an email to Deringer’s Marketing Department with any questions.
