Cargo arrives at a customs inspection hub and must be unloaded, cleared, and reloaded within set time windows. Station scheduling specifies dock arrival times, labor availability, and maximum dwell durations to minimize detention costs and keep supply chains moving. It is critical for time-sensitive cargo (food, pharmaceuticals) and frequency-sensitive corridors (e.g., rail through Central Asia).
