Container Cleaning Fee

The Container Cleaning Fee is charged by shipping lines or container depots for cleaning shipping containers before reuse.

This fee ensures containers are free from debris, contaminants, and residues from previous shipments. It is essential for maintaining hygiene standards, preventing cross-contamination, and complying with international regulations.

The fee varies based on the container’s condition and the cleaning required, with costs typically covered by the shipper or consignee.
