Calculate Charges

Demurrage (cargo dwelling in the terminal) and detention (equipment held outside the terminal) are two separate clocks, each with its own free-day window. Enter them separately. Leave detention blank to model a single combined clock.
This carrier's tariff in the dataset is a single published tier set. The two clocks are each run against that same tier structure, so each gets its own free-day window — but if your carrier publishes different demurrage vs detention rates or free days, confirm both directly before quoting.
Rates verified against carrier published tariffs. Always confirm current rates with your carrier before issuing client quotes — tariffs change without notice.

Shipment Risk Checker

Set direction and commodity — documents are sorted and highlighted by relevance

This tool scores the documents you select — it is decision support, not a compliance clearance. The biggest risk on any shipment is usually a required document you didn't select, so the checker now flags high-risk documents that match your direction/commodity but are missing from your selection. Always confirm requirements with your customs broker and the controlling agency.

Approval times are typical ranges. Add buffer for DAFF inspection queues in peak season — Townsville inspection slots fill weeks ahead during sugar harvest.

Cost-to-Serve Calculator

Build a landed cost estimate for NQ import or export shipments

⚠️ Planning estimates only. Freight rates are indicative ranges — actual rates depend on your carrier contract, season, and market conditions. Verify every line with your freight forwarder before quoting.

Shipment Details

Many goods are Free under an FTA (ChAFTA, AANZFTA, etc.). Default is 0% — set your actual rate from the Working Tariff / your broker. 5% is the general rate, not a safe default.

Cost Components — Adjust to Your Actuals

D&D exposure not included above — run the D&D Calculator separately if storage beyond free days is likely. For NQ imports, add $500–$2,000+ buffer for potential D&D if vessel schedules are irregular.
