Japan’s upcoming imperial succession will bring customs clearance to a halt, and the arrival of any cargo during the period should be avoided, according to a client alert from the Arpin International Group. The “Golden Week” will be held April 29-May 6, marking the abdication of Japanese Emperor Akihito and the accession to the throne of Crown Prince Naruhito. “Most public authorities, customs offices, harbor companies, and many general companies will be closed during this time,” Arpin said.
Detention and demurrage
Demurrage is the time that filled containers spend inside a terminal when imported into the U.S. This is measured from the time they are offloaded from the vessel until the time they are picked up at the port. Detention is the time that containers spend outside the terminal. This is measured from the time between picking the containers up from the port and returning them to the port when they are empty. Demurrage and detention penalty charges will be incurred if an importer does not pick up the filled container or drop off the empty container in the time allotted by the port or carrier. The Federal Maritime Commission regulates detention and demurrage charges in the ocean environment.
