Definition & Explanation
Terminal tariffs provide pricing transparency: they are the official rate schedules published by the operator of a port, rail, or warehousing terminal, covering all services on offer. Typical line items include loading and unloading, internal transfer movements, storage, cargo clearance, and infrastructure access, each with defined validity periods. Freight forwarders and shippers consult terminal tariffs when verifying quotes, building cost calculations, and benchmarking competing facilities. The tariff should not be confused with the Terminal Handling Charge (THC): the THC is a single line item invoiced in the ocean freight contract, while the terminal tariff is the comprehensive schedule from which all such charges derive.
