The surcharge applies from 9 November 2026 and is set at US$75 per container.

It will be added automatically to Maersk quotations for Store Door cargo requiring an internal customs transit declaration, known as DUCA-T.

Maersk said the charge covers the use of specialised customs personnel to process transit declarations and coordinate clearance with port authorities and logistics providers.
