Most businesses spend time negotiating the ocean freight rate.

Far fewer examine the surcharges that appear beneath it.

Yet charges like Peak Season Surcharges (PSS), Emergency Bunker Surcharges (EBS), Container Imbalance Charges (CIC), Port Congestion Fees, Documentation Charges, and Demurrage & Detention can significantly impact the final landed cost of a shipment.

Understanding these costs isn't about challenging every fee—it's about knowing what you're paying for, why it exists, and how it affects your supply chain.

In this carousel, we break down 7 common ocean freight surcharges that every importer, exporter, procurement professional, and logistics manager should understand.

The more visibility you have into your freight costs, the better decisions you can make for your business.

👉 Swipe through to discover the hidden charges behind your freight invoice.

Customs held your shipment?

Before you blame the port, the broker, or bad luck — here's what actually might have happened.

There are two very different things customs can do with your cargo:

1. Inspection — They check your documents. HS codes, invoice values, declarations. If everything matches, you move. Fast, low risk, minimal cost.
2. Examination — They physically open your cargo. Count units. Check specs against your invoice. Look for anything undeclared or misclassified.

And while examination is happening?

Storage fees are running.
Demurrage is accumulating.
Your delivery window is shrinking.
Your buyer is asking questions you don't have answers to yet.

The triggers are almost always the same:

→ Vague product descriptions
→ Suspicious or inconsistent invoice values
→ Missing or incomplete documents
→ First-time importer profile
→ High-risk cargo types

None of these are customs problems.
They're preparation problems.

Clean documentation, correct HS classification, and proper valuation don't just help you clear — they build your reputation as a low-risk shipper over time.

That reputation is worth more than any freight discount.

This is exactly what we help our clients build at Sharp Blue — before the cargo moves, not after it's flagged.

Logistics is not just transportation. It's risk management.

📦 Importing regularly? Make sure your documentation is examination-ready before your next shipment.

Most businesses think logistics is simple — you either book a truck when you need one, or you sign a contract and forget about it. 🚛

But that thinking is costing companies more than they realise.

The real question isn't spot or contract — it's when to use each, and how to balance both.

We just published a full breakdown on this on the Sharp Blue website covering:
→ Why spot logistics can backfire during peak seasons
→ Why contracts aren't always the "safe" option
→ The hybrid approach that's working for smart businesses right now

If you're managing freight, supply chains, or operations — this is worth a read.

Importing into Australia is not just about getting the cheapest freight rate—small compliance mistakes can quickly turn into costly delays, customs holds, and unexpected charges.

Most new importers focus only on price and transit time, without understanding what actually impacts clearance and the true landed cost.

In this video, 𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐑𝐚𝐣 𝐂𝐡𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢, 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀, breaks down the three most overlooked areas that cause import issues for new businesses:

• Australia’s strict biosecurity requirements that often catch importers off guard
• The real landed cost beyond just freight charges
• Documentation accuracy and supplier coordination from the start

When these are handled correctly, imports become smoother, faster, and far more predictable.
