Before you book Sinokor from or to Vietnam: checklist

Most surprises on Sinokor 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. Sinokor 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. CIC is on this tariff, so agree with the consignee who carries it.
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 Sinokor local charges in a quote

1. Match the right rows

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