Origin charges, in the context of cargo handling at ports, are the fees and costs incurred while the cargo remains at the port of origin. These charges are associated with the services and facilities utilized by the cargo during its stay at the port. The origin charges encompass various expenses, including port handling fees, storage fees, and other related costs. These charges are typically incurred by the shipper or the party responsible for exporting the cargo, reflecting the costs associated with using port services and infrastructure during the cargo's time at the origin port. Origin charges contribute to the overall logistics expenses and are an essential consideration in the total cost of shipping goods from the country of origin.
