Before you book Hapag-Lloyd from or to Vietnam: checklist

Most surprises on Hapag-Lloyd local charges come from five points. Check them on the booking, not after the vessel sails.

Confirm the port. Port-specific rows exist for Da Nang, Quy Nhon, so the discharge terminal changes the bill.
Check the currency on each line. Hapag-Lloyd 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. 4 rows apply only to reefer, open top, flat rack or out-of-gauge boxes.
Count the free days. Free time is set per booking; get it in writing before the vessel arrives.

How we use Hapag-Lloyd local charges in a quote

1. Match the right rows

Port of loading or discharge, container type and cargo decide which Hapag-Lloyd 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 Hapag-Lloyd on your behalf and show the Hapag-Lloyd local charges at cost, so you see one door-to-door figure.
