We are pleased to announce service enhancements at ports in Nicaragua. These improvements are designed to strengthen the reliability of cargo movement and help ensure delivery timelines are met for Store Door shipments.
To support these improvements, a customs surcharge is being introduced for the clearance of goods in transit (DUCA-T). This surcharge will allow us to engage specialized customs personnel who will streamline the clearance process at the ports. Our dedicated team will work in close coordination with port authorities and logistics partners to ensure timely deliveries by expediting the processing of Internal Transit Declarations (DUCA-T).
Effective November 9, a surcharge of USD 75.00 per container will be applied automatically to ensure compliance with local regulations. It will apply to all quotations received through Maersk for Store Door shipments that involve the internal customs declaration service.
In addition, at all ports where we offer the Store Door service, services such as inspections, warehousing and port fumigation, among others, will be invoiced as a CAI / PAE / PAI surcharge at all locations, and a 3% financial fee will apply to third-party payments.
We understand the importance of timely deliveries and are committed to delivering an excellent service. We assure you that we are doing everything possible to minimize any adverse impact on your supply chain. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary.
If you have any questions or need support with your logistics planning, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
