A driver pulls up to a military base gate: ID check, security screening, escort request—all before the actual unloading begins. That is the kind of scenario that triggers limited access delivery charges. Carriers and freight forwarders apply this surcharge whenever a delivery address requires special permits, security clearances, or equipment beyond a standard drop-off: military installations, hospitals, schools, construction sites, and remote rural locations are typical examples. The fee offsets the extra planning effort, dwell time at access controls, and any specialised handling involved. It applies across parcel and freight services alike and is normally listed as a named line item on the freight invoice, enabling shippers to budget for it in advance.
