Our thanks to the member who has shared a memo they have received from GTAd’nata on a planned policy change.
Effective 15th October 2021, there will be no extension of free storage over the first Weekend and Public holidays.
All general cargo will continue to have 48-hour free storage from the date of arrival without any further extension.
All special cargo will continue to have 24 hours free storage from the date of arrival without any further extension.
The Change in policy will apply as below
For General Cargo:- Shipment arriving on Friday will need to be picked up latest by Sunday to avoid any storage charges.
For Special Cargo :- Shipment arriving on Friday will need to be picked up latest by Saturday to avoid any storage charges.
This change in policy has been initiated after due consideration in the upcoming increase in Cargo volumes , 24 x 7 CBSA working hours and the e-Manifest initiative.
All Customers will be able to process their shipment with out any restrictions irrespective of Weekends or Public holidays.
We request all Forwarders and Import customers to make necessary arrangements to avoid any storage charges.
We have also geared up our operations to ensure quick delivery schedules are maintained thru out the weekends and public holidays.
