{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Handling Charge","description":"A handling charge is the fee levied for the physical movement of goods at a terminal, warehouse, or transfer point—covering loading and unloading, forklift and crane operations, and the preparation of storage space. It applies solely to on-site activities and is therefore distinct from the freight rate, which covers carriage between locations. Handling charges arise in ocean freight, air freight, and warehousing alike; the amount depends on weight, volume, unit count, and equipment deployed.
