Maersk will change its invoicing process for UK imports from 31 August 2026, introducing the default application of Equipment Handling Import charges for selected shipments. The Equipment Handling Import charge will apply to all imports with a Bill of Lading service mode of CY, or Container Yard. This charge covers shipments where customers arrange their own inland transportation. If a customer later asks Maersk to provide inland haulage, the carrier will add its standard Inland Landside Haulage rate. At the same time, Maersk will apply a negative Inland Campaigns Destination adjustment. This adjustment will offset the Equipment Handling Import charge already included in the invoice. According to Maersk, the process will ensure that customers only pay the correct total amount for the service provided. It will also remove the need to issue a separate credit note when delivery arrangements change. The carrier said the revised process will improve consistency and align Equipment Handling Import invoicing with freight charges. It also aims to provide greater transparency and reduce credit adjustments. The change will not affect shipments with a destination Bill of Lading service mode of SD, or Store Door. These shipments will continue to receive Inland Haulage Import charges. Customers with contractual exemptions from the Equipment Handling Import charge will also remain unaffected. The same applies to customers with pre-agreed contractual inland rate structures. The post Maersk updates UK import invoicing process appeared first on Container News .
