Tacoma, USA: Washington United Terminal Policy effective November 15, 2021

As announced by Washington United Terminals (WUT) on their website, they have introduced an emergency surcharge now effective November 15, 2021 (originally November 8, 2021) levied on local import containers that have exceeded 15 calendar days on the terminal. This will be a US$ 310 Long Stay Rehandling Charge.

As per the terminal notice, units will be placed on hold and payment will be due prior to making an appointment. There is a FAQ on the WUT website referring to eModal for payment.

This is a port terminal announced and levied charge which, paid directly to the terminal, will be for the account of the merchant.

In the meantime, we are continuing to proactively notify our customers of containers that are dwelling, which if not gated out immediately will result in this Long Stay Rehandling Charge.
