CFS Fee

CFS fees, short for Container Freight Station fees, are charges that relate to increased time for the carrier at a freight station during loading, unloading, or consolidation. Carriers are often required to process paperwork and wait in long dock lines which may result in a CFS fee.

The CFS accessorial must be selected when booking a shipment to or from an airport or bonded warehouse. This applies to all locations in which a delivery order or release documentation is required to pickup or deliver the cargo. If you are unsure if your shipment requires this accessorial, please contact support.

Accessorial

The CFS accessorial must be selected when booking the shipment.

Delivery orders must be provided before 2pm the day prior to the pick-up date.

All documents must be sent to our support team as a PDF or Doc via chat and should include the container number and piece/pallet count. This is to ensure reliability of pick-up and delivery of your freight. These documents include:

  • Master BOL #

  • House BOL #

  • Delivery Order #

  • Carton count

  • Payment receipts

One Delivery Order Per Shipment

Multiple DOs will require you to book separate shipments per each DO. This will ensure no shipments are missed during pick up.
