{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Cargo Cut Off","description":"The cargo cut-off is the hard deadline by which physical cargo must be checked in at the terminal to be loaded onto a booked sailing or flight. Once the cut-off passes, the terminal closes the load list for that departure; any shipment arriving afterward is rolled to the next available service, with rebooking fees and potential delivery delays as a consequence. In ocean freight, the cut-off typically falls 24 to 48 hours before vessel departure; in air freight the window is considerably shorter.","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Frachtportal Logistics Glossary","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/cargo-cut-off","inLanguage":"en","dateModified":"2026-06-26T18:50:50.255775","citation":"https://www.freightos.com/glossary/cut-off-time/","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/en/cargo-cut-off","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Cargo Cut Off · The cargo cut-off is the hard deadline by which physical cargo must be checked in at the terminal to be loaded onto a booked sailing or flight. · Quelle: https://www.freightos.com/glossary/cut-off-time/"}
