CMA CGM local charges in Vietnam are the fees CMA CGM collects at the Vietnamese port on top of ocean freight: terminal handling (THC), the B/L or delivery order fee, seal, telex release, manifest filing and, on some trades, a container imbalance charge (CIC).

This page lists the CMA CGM local charges in Vietnam that we hold on file, line by line, with the date we last checked them against the carrier’s published tariff.

CMA CGM charges for reefer, open top and flat rack

These CMA CGM local charges apply only to special equipment or out-of-gauge cargo. For flat rack and open top bookings we check OOG acceptance with the line before you confirm, and plan the trucking to the port. See OOG cargo handling in Vietnam and project cargo door-to-site.

CMA CGM DEM/DET and free time in Vietnam

DEM/DET sits outside the CMA CGM local charges themselves but often costs more. Demurrage (DEM) runs while the full container stays in the port after free time; detention (DET) runs while the box is outside the port. Some CMA CGM tariffs combine both into one count. Rates are per container per day.

Before you book CMA CGM from or to Vietnam: checklist

Most surprises on CMA CGM local charges come from five points. Check them on the booking, not after the vessel sails.

Confirm the port. Most rows apply to all Vietnam ports, but confirm the terminal anyway: trucking and storage differ.
Check the currency on each line. CMA CGM bills USD and VND on this tariff; USD items are converted at the carrier’s exchange rate on the invoice date.
Ask who pays CIC and cleaning. No CIC is listed, but cleaning and maintenance rows still depend on the cargo.
Declare special equipment early. 8 rows apply only to reefer, open top, flat rack or out-of-gauge boxes.
Count the free days. Import free time is 7 calendar days; plan delivery and empty return inside it.

How we use CMA CGM local charges in a quote

1. Match the right rows

Port of loading or discharge, container type and cargo decide which CMA CGM rows apply. A flat rack at Cai Mep does not pay the same as a dry box at Cat Lai.

2. Add what the line does not bill

Customs clearance, trucking, lifting and port storage are separate from the carrier’s local charges. We price them together.

3. One number, at cost

We settle CMA CGM on your behalf and show the CMA CGM local charges at cost, so you see one door-to-door figure.
