In South Africa, imports may be kept in a bonded warehouse for a maximum of two years.
The CDS Ops team will also monitor, manage and inform clients if there is a risk of incurring Demurrage/Detention fees on both import and export containers. A basic description of Demurrage is fees that will be applied after the free time for storage inside the port has expired and ends on the day when the container has been collected and out gated from the terminal. Detention fees on the other hand occurs when the consignee holds onto the carrier’s container outside of the port beyond the free time that is allotted.
